Strum
D-DU-UDU
  Blow  on you restless  wind,  up to your old  tricks again.
  Bear  down you Texas sun,  you make the desserts  dry and the brush  fires run.
  Splintered wood rusty  chains,  this old front porch  swing remains.
  A pendelum  of memories,  goes back  and forth on a summer  breeze.
  Singing old  church hymns and nursery  rhymes
  From the  days way back before  my time.
  With a little  child upon my knee
  Singing  every sweet word back to me.
  Look how  far I had to  come
  To get  back where I started  from.
  With a childs  wisdom passin' time
  Singing  old church hymns and nursery  rhymes.
  I've run  the race I've walked  the wire,I  paid the price of  my desire
  And the  only time I've known it all,  is just  before I took  a fall.
  So howl  you lone  coyote song,  fade to sapphire  sky of dawn.
  Count me  in the lucky men,  to send  the world around  again.
 Chorus.

Bl[A]ow on you res[D]tless w[A]ind, up to your old[E] tricks ag[A]ain.
        Be[A]ar down you Texas s[E]un, you make the dess[A]erts dry and the [E]brush fires [A]run.
        Splintered wood r[D]usty ch[A]ains, this old front porch[E] swing rem[A]ains.
        A [A]pendelum of memor[E]ies, goes ba[A]ck and forth on a su[E]mmer bre[A]eze.

        Singing o[D]ld church hymns and nu[A]rsery rhymes
        From t[E]he days way back befo[A]re my time.
        With a li[D]ttle child upon my k[A]nee
        Singin[E]g every sweet word back to me.
        Look h[D]ow far I had t[A]o come
        To g[E]et back where I star[A]ted from.
        With a ch[D]ilds wisdom passin' time
        Singi[A]ng old church hymns and nu[E]rsery rhy[A]mes.

        I've r[A]un the race I've wa[D]lked the w[A]ire,I paid the price of[E] my des[A]ire
        And t[A]he only time I've known it [E]all, is j[A]ust before I t[E]ook a fa[A]ll.
        So h[A]owl you lone[D] coyote s[A]ong, fade to sapph[E]ire sky of d[A]awn.
        Count [A]me in the lucky m[E]en, to s[A]end the world a[E]round ag[A]ain.

Chorus.
