Jon
I never meant to hold your wings, my darlin’,
Shez
You were born for the open sky.

If the wind should call your name again,
Shez
Don’t you worry — I’ll know why.

(Organ swells; slide guitar responds with slow bends)

[Chorus 1 – bars 29 – 44]

Chords: | C | D | G | Em | C | D | G | G |

Both (Harmony)
Love that won’t cage you is love that’s true,
Flies on the wind and still comes through.
If you go searchin’ for the light,
I’ll be the lantern in your night.

Chords: | Em | C | G | D | Em | C | Am | D |

Jon
The road ahead don’t owe us nothin’,
Shez
Just dust and moonlight and a song.
Jon
But I’ll keep your shadow on my dashboard,
Shez
As the radio plays us on.

[Chorus 2 – bars 77 – 92]

Chords: | C | D | G | Em | C | D | G | G |

Both (Harmony)
Love that won’t cage you is love that stays,
Through every storm and miles of days.
When the sun sets low and I can’t see,
Your song will ride the wind to me.

[Bridge – bars 93 – 108]

Chords: | Am | G | D | C | Am | G | D | D |

(Tempo lifts gradually; drums move from brushes to sticks.)
Shez
Don’t cry for what we had to leave,
Jon
We gave our truth, we both believe.
Both
Freedom’s the only love worth pain,
It lets you go so you can come again.

[Solo Section – bars 109 – 148]

Chord base: G → C → G → D (repeat 8 times).

Lead Guitar 1 (slide): soaring melody in E Mixolydian.

Lead Guitar 2: harmonic counterlines.

Hammond B3 adds grit with overdrive.

Drums build to half-time groove at bar 140.

(Sustain into feedback cloud.)

[Final Chorus – bars 149 – 164]

Both (Shouting harmonies)
Love that won’t cage you is love I feel,
Fire in the sky and steel on steel.
If I’m gone when you take that ride,
I’ll be the wind that fills your side.

[Outro – bars 165 – End (~210)]

Chord vamp: | G | C | G | D | (repeat and fade)

Dual-guitar battle → organ swells → crash to silence.
(Final slide note rings into infinity.)
