G-G-A-G-Bb-G-B-C
Where the wind blows
That's where I go
Where the moon is
That's where I am
And when I just
Have a problem
Always hoping the wind will blow me away again

I'm a loner
I'm a sorry entertainer
I'm a loner
I'm a sorry entertainer
Drove those demons
Out of my head
With an organ and a pencil full of lead
And when I'm dead
I'd like to have it said
He drove those demons out of his head
I'm a loner
I'm a sorry entertainer
I'm a loner
I'm a sorry entertainer
Now the curtain parts the stage
It's the dawn of a new and exciting age
And I'm free
Free at last
Like a monkey out of its cage
I'm a loner
I'm a sorry entertainer
I'm a loner
I'm a sorry entertainer

Another version:
I just banged it out on the piano - these piano chords replicate the guitar part pretty well.
Try playing a single note melody with the left hand:
Left Hand
Verse:
E E F# E G E G# A
With the right hand play two-note half-step clusters. i.e G/G# means play G and G# at the same time.
Right Hand
Verse:
G G# G G# A A# G G# A# B G G# B C C C#
If you play these left and right hand parts together, it sounds pretty cool...
For the chorus try these left hand and right hand parts together
RH:
C C# C C# B C B C
LH:
A A E E G# G# E E
(repeat 6 times) then...
RH:
C# D C# D C# D C# D C# D C# D C# D C# D
LH:
A# A# A# A# A# A# A# A#
RH:
C C# C C# B C A# B A A#
LH:
A A G# G F#
