Flatt & Scruggs – It Was Only The Wind (Guitar)

          A           D          A
She would sit by her window and gaze out

          E                           A
Down the road where her children had gone

       A              D             A
One by one they left seeking their fortune

     E                      A
And left their old mother alone

    A              D               A
Sometimes late at night she would call me

         E                      A
Sir, did I hear a knock at the door

        A         D         A
I would say it is only the wind, ma'am

     E                   A
Just as I had told her before

     D E       A
It's only the wind

      D            E          A
Your children are not at the door

     D E       A
It's only the wind

    E                            A
The wind, restless wind, nothing more

    A                D           A
Sometimes she would talk of her children

        E                        A
Of her sons and her daughter so fair

    A               D             A
She said they were much like the wild wind

      E                      A
They sometimes neglected to care

    A              D        A
One night I heard somebody knocking

      E                     A
But I saw as I went to the door

        A             D            A
She was there in her chair by the window

     E                      A
Her eyes closed in rest evermore

       D E       A
It was only the wind

     D             E          A
Her children were not at the door

       D E       A
It was only the wind

     E                            A
The wind, restless wind, nothing more
