Recorded by Red Steagall

[3/4 time]
[Intro]
C C Bb Bb F F G G
[Verse 1]
N.C. C F C
My grandparents came here from Yell Arkansas
C D7 G
They built them a soddie on the Sulphur Springs draw
C F Em
They scratched out a living for a family of ten
Am G C C C C
With a faith that was strong as the panhandle wind
[Verse 2]
C F C
All those tall Texas tales Grandpa passed down to me
C D7 G G7
Are still just as vivid as when I sat on his knee
C F Em
But what I remember about the tales he would spin
Am G C
Is how he would cuss that blamed panhandle wind
[Chorus]
F C
It taught the coyote to howl makes the tumbleweeds roll
C D7 G
It controlled the migration of the great buffalo
F Em Em Em Em
Makes the salt cedar sing and the cottonwood bend
Am G C C C C
Your constant companion is the panhandle wind
[Verse 3]
C F C
It sweeps off the Rockies like a fast movin' train
C D7 G7
Brings a sky full of dust and a few drops of rain
C F Em
It usually blows from the North but it's subject to change
Am G C C
As it sculpts the face of the panhandle plains
(Key change)
A7 A7
[Verse 4]
D G D
It just took my hat off and blowed it a mile
D E7 A7
I broke out a cussin' and I managed to smile
D G F#m
I'd rather be here than any place I have been
Bm A D
But I'll never get used to this panhandle wind
