When I [E] was a kid [D] Uncle [A] Remus would put me to bed
With [E]
[A] a picture [E] of [D] Stonewall Jackson [A] above [D] my head
[E]
[F#m] Then Daddy came in to [E] kiss his little man
[F#m] With gin on his breath [E] and a Bible in his hand
[D] He talked about honor [E] and things I should know
[D] Then he'd stagger a little [E] as he went out the door
I [A] can still hear [G#m] the soft [F#m] southern winds in [E] the live [D] oak trees
[C#m] And [Bm] [E] [A] those Williams [C#m] boys [F#m] they still mean [A] a lot to [D] me
Hank [Bm] in Tennessee [E] I [D] guess we're all [E] gonna be what we're [F#m] gonna be
[D] So what do you do [E] with good old boys [A] like me?
Nothing [E]
[D] makes a sound [A] in the night [D] like the wind does
[E] [A] But you [E] ain't afraid [D] if you're washed [A] in the blood [D] like I was
[E] [F#m] Smell like Kate Jasmine [E] through the window screen
[F#m] John R.
and the Wolfman [E] kept me company
[D] By the light of the radio [E] by my bed
[D] With Thomas Wolf whispering [E] in my head
I [A] can still hear [E] the soft [F#m] southern winds in [A] the live [D] oak [A] trees
[B] [E] And [A] those Williams [E] boys they [F#m] still mean [E] a lot to [D] me

[A] When I [E] was in school [D] I ran [A] with a kid [D] down the street
And [E]
[A] I watched [E] him burn [D] himself up [A] on bourbon [D] and speed
[E] But [F#m] I was smarter than most [E] and I could choose
[F#m] Learn to talk like the man on [E] the six o'clock news
[D] When I was eighteen [E] Lord I hit the road
[D] But it really doesn't matter [E] how far I go
I can [A] still hear [G#m] the soft southern [F#m] winds in [A] the live [D] oak trees
