Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
I'd like to dedicate this song
to Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash,

[Chorus 1]
and Billy Swan, funky Donny Fritts and
[C]Pissin' in the wind,
[G]bettin' on a losing friend
[D]Makin' the same mistakes,
we swear we'll [C]never make a[D]gain
[C]Pissin' in the wind,
but it's [G]blowing on all our friends
[D]We're gonna sit and [C]grin
and tell our [G]grandchildren

[Verse 1]
About the [D]time I called this Guy
it was four in the morning
[C]Teach me the words
to the [G]song I was humming
[C]Hmm [D]hmm [G]hmm
[C]Hmm [D]hmm [G]hmm
He just [D]laughed and he said
that the old grey cat is [C]sneakin' down the [G]hall
But [D]all he wants to know
is who in the hell is [C]paying for the [D]call

[Chorus 2]
[C]Pissin' in the wind,
[G]bettin' on a losing friend
[D]Makin' the same mistakes,
we swear we'll [C]never make a[D]gain
[C]Pissin' in the wind,
but it's [G]blowing on all our friends
[D]We're gonna sit and [C]grin
and tell our [G]grandchildren

[Verse 2]
How this [D]Nunn called called me up,
it was eight in the morning
[C]Wanted to know how in the [G]world am I doin'
[C]Hmm [D]hmm [G]hmm
[C]Hmm [D]hmm [G]hmm
He just [D]laughed and he said
"Get it together boy, [C]fall on by the [G]house
Some [D]Gonzo buddies would like to play
any[C]thing you'r picking [D]now

[Chorus 3]
[C]Pissin' in the wind,
[G]bettin' on a losing friend
[D]Makin' the same mistakes,
we swear we'll [C]never make a[D]gain
[C]Pissin' in the wind,
but it's [G]blowing on all our friends
[D]We're gonna sit and [C]grin
and tell our [G]grandchildren

[Verse 3]
How we [D]worked
and we suffered and struggled
Makin' our [C]record till we got it [G]right
Now we're [C]waiting [D]on the [G]check
to come [C]sneaking [D]down the [G]hall
Like that [C]old [D]time [G]feeling
That we [D]never should have ever
put the [C]record out at [D]all

[Chorus 4]
[C]Pissin' in the wind,
[G]bettin' on a losing friend
[D]Makin' the same mistakes,
we swear we'll [C]never make a[D]gain
[C]Pissin' in the wind,
but it's [G]blowing on all our friends
[D]We're gonna sit and [C]grin
and tell our [G]grandchildren

[Outro 1]
That the [C]answer my [D]friend
is just [G]pissin' in the [Em]wind
The [C]answer is [D]pissin' in the [G]sink[C]
