Verse 1:
     A augmentedA      D MajorD   A augmentedA         E MajorE     A augmentedA
	Blow on you restless wind, up to your old tricks again.
	 A augmentedA         E MajorE          A augmentedA        E MajorE      A augmentedA
	Bear down you Texas sun, you make the desserts dry and the brush fires run.
             D MajorD   A augmentedA             E MajorE     A augmentedA
	Splintered wood rusty chains, this old front porch swing remains.
     A augmentedA        E MajorE      A augmentedA          E MajorE    A augmentedA
	A augmentedA pendelum of memories, goes back and forth on a summer breeze.

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

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

Chorus.
