Against The Wind Chords & Guitar Lesson by Bob Seger
Welcome to my Against The Wind guitar chord and lesson page by Bob Seger. I had some requests for more Bob Seger music and this is such a great song, I couldn’t resist.
Not too difficult of a song as we are mainly using open chords. There is one barre chord you have to contend with but fortunately, I have an ‘easy’ fix!

Verse:
G G
It seems like yesterday
Bm Bm
But it was long ago
C G
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights
D C
There in the darkness with the radio playing low, and
G G
And the secrets that we shared
Bm Bm
The mountains that we moved
C G
Caught like a wildfire out of control 'Til there was
C D
Nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove.
Pre-Chorus:
|Em D| G
And I remember what she said to me
|Em C| G
How she swore that it never would end
|Em D| C
I remember how she held me oh so tight

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

We were runnin' against the wind

We were young and strong, we were runnin' against the wind
Verse:
G G
And the years rolled slowly past
Bm Bm
And I found myself alone
C G
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
D C
I found myself further and further from my home, and I
G G
Guess I lost my way
Bm Bm
There were oh, so many roads. I was
C G
living to run and running to live
C D
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed.
Pre-Chorus:

Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
|Em C| G
Breaking all of the rules that would bend

I began to find myself searching
C D
Searching for shelter again and again

Deadlines and commitments

What to leave in, what to leave out
