A            D      A                  E         A
        Blow on you restless wind, up to your old tricks again.
          A                  E                    A                E           A
        Bear down you Texas sun, you make the desserts dry and the brush fires run.
                         D      A                         E         A
        Splintered wood rusty chains, this old front porch swing remains.
          A                E           A                   E       A
        A pendelum of memories, goes back and forth on a summer breeze.


Chorus:
                 D                     A
        Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes
              E                    A
        From the days way back before my time.
                 D                   A
        With a little child upon my knee
              E
        Singing every sweet word back to me.
              D             A
        Look how far I had to come
            E                   A
        To get back where I started from.
                 D
        With a childs wisdom passin' time
             A                         E        A
        Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes.

Verse 2:
              A                  D         A                      E      A
        I've run the race I've walked the wire,I paid the price of my desire
             A                          E        A             E       A
        And the only time I've known it all, is just before I took a fall.
            A           D        A                 E           A
        So howl you lone coyote song, fade to sapphire sky of dawn.
              A                E       A              E       A
        Count me in the lucky men, to send the world around again.
