Winds
Of Yesterday
Recorded by Boxcar Willie

D G D
Sometimes at night when
I'm all alone
A7
The sounds of the day
fade away
D G D
Alone in my room with my
memories
G D
A7 D
The winds of yesterday
blow on me
G D
I hear country music on
the radio
A7
The way that it was a
long time ago
D G D
And the sound of momma
singing comes drifting through the trees
G D
A7 D
When the winds of
yesterday blow on me
G D
I see a moon so bright
over cotton fields of white
A7
The fragrance of
magnolias ride the breeze
D G D
And that little two room
school where I learned the Golden Rule
G D
A7 D
When the winds of yesterday
blow on me
G D
I see children at the old
swimming hole
A7
And fishing on the river
with an old cane pole
D G D
Each memory is so dear
each face is so clear
G D
A7 D
When the winds of
yesterday blow on me
G D
I can hear the choir sing
how their voices ring
A7
I remember the words to
each song
D G D
Oh and that old preacher
man once more sets my heart at ease
G D
A7 D
When the winds of
yesterday blow on me
G D
A7 D
When the winds of
yesterday blow on me
I had never heard this song until a week ago
when a friend of mine played it at a jam session.
I just loved it . . .
and it is only three simple chords.
You can find Boxcar Willie singing it on You Tube.
I enjoy songs that tell a story.
I hope you like it and add it to your songbook.
Keep strumming and singing,
Connie :)
