There's a lone soldier on the cross, smoke pourin' out of a boxcar door,

C#m D6
After losin' every battle.

F#m C#m
Now everything's a little upside down
Bm A
As a matter of fact the wheels have stopped,
F#m C#m
What's good is bad, what's bad is good
Bm A
You'll find out when you reach the top
C#m D6
You're on the bottom.

Bm A
Near the cypress trees, while the springtime turned
C#m D6
Slo-o-o-owly to autumn.
[Chorus]
A D A
Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull,
D D/E
From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol.
A D A
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
A D
You're an idiot, babe.
E A D/A A D/A
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
[Verse]
Dm E E/D A
I can't feel you anymore, I can't even touch the books you've read
Dm E
Every time I crawl past your door, I been wishin'

I'd been somebody else instead.

Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,

I been double-crossed now for the very last time and now I'm finally free,
Dm
I kissed goodbye the howling beast
E E/D A A/G#
On the borderline which separated you from me.
F#m C#m Bm A
You'll never know the hurt I suffered nor the pain I rise above,
F#m C#m Bm A
And I'll never know the same about you, your holiness or your kind of love,
C#m D6
And it makes me feel so sorry.
[Chorus]
A D A
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,
D D/E
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
A D A
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves,
A D
We're idiots, babe.
E E7 A D/A A D/A
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
