  			C                  F            C 
Sometimes at night when I'm all alone 
  
                           G7 
The sounds of the day fade away 

C                F       C 
Alone in my room with my memories  

             F     C   G7      C 
The winds of yesterday blow on me 


  

       F                    C 
I hear country music on the radio 
  
                                G7 
The way that it was a long time ago 
  
        C                            F                    C 
And the sound of momma singing comes drifting through the trees  

                  F     C   G7      C 
When the winds of yesterday blow on me 


  

                            F                C 
I see a moon so bright over cotton fields of white 
  
                                    G7 
The fragrance of magnolias ride the breeze 
  
         C                              F                  C 
And that little two room school where I learned the Golden Rule 
  
                  F     C   G7      C 
When the winds of yesterday blow on me 



  
      F                            C 
I see children at the old swimming hole 
  
                                          G7 
And fishing on the river with an old cane pole 

     C                      F          C 
Each memory is so dear each face is so clear 
  
                  F     C   G7      C 
When the winds of yesterday blow on me 




      F                   C 
I can hear the choir sing how their voices ring 
  
                             G7 
I remember the words to each song 
  
C                            F                          C 
Oh and that old preacher man once more sets my heart at ease 

                  F     C   G7      C 
When the winds of yesterday blow on me 
  
                  F     C   G7      C 
When the winds of yesterday blow on me
