[B]
Blow [E] on, you [B] restless wind, Up to [F#] your [B] old tricks again.
Bear [E] down, you Texas [F#] sun, You make [B] the deserts dry and the brush fires rough.
Splintered wood and rusty chain, This old front [F#] porch [B] swing remains.
The pendulum of [F#] memory, [B] Goes back and forth on a summer breeze.
Singing [E] old church hymns and nursery rhymes, From [F#] the days way [B] back before my time.
With [E] the little child [B] up on my knee, [F#] Singing every sweet word back to me.

I've [B]
run the [E] race, I've [B] walked the wire, I've paid the price of my desire.
And the only time [E] I've known [F#] it all, [B] Was just before I took a fall.
So howl, you lone coyote song, And fade the [F#] sapphire [B] sky at dawn.
Count me [E] in, [F#] the lucky man, [B] To send the world around again.
