D     
Well, I was standing on a corner

At a flat-ironed building in Asheville, North Carolina
G
Waiting for a woman that was putting me down
                      D                          A          D
And leaving me way behind and the wind was cold,   the wind blew cold

           
I walked around the corner

To have a cup of coffee and I met a good buddy instead
G
We both crossed the river for a shot of white lightning
                           D                          A          D
And it moves me out of my head and the wind was cold,   the wind blew 

cold
  
                             G
I can't forget that lonesome day
         A              D   
Nothing seemed to go my way
                              G
I got put down by the woman I love
                  D           A                 D
And the wind blew cold, Lord, Lord, the wind blew cold


Started walking and I thumbed across

The Hotspring Mountains there in Knoxville, Tennessee
  G
I hear a freight train was a-landing before the wind blow
                      D                         A             D
And no one talking to me and the wind was cold,   the wind blew cold


A couple of fellows and a log truck moving

Took me to the Tennessee line
   G  
We got to talking and a-drinking over troubles
                        D                          A             D
On a bottle of homemade wine and the wind was cold,  the wind blew cold

                             G
I can't forget that lonesome day
         A              D   
Nothing seemed to go my way
                              G
I got put down by the woman I love
                  D           A                 D
And the wind blew cold, Lord, Lord, the wind blew cold
                  D
And the wind blew cold
      A                 D
Lord, Lord, the wind blew cold
