Capo 3 - Key of F 
 
        D           D7                 G  
Lost my pickup in a card game in New Orleans 
        A                       D 
Lost my girl to a stranger in L.A. 
        D                      G 
Left my dreams in a motel in Atlanta 
      A                              D 
And I guess I lost my mind along the way 
 
 
          G                   D 
Can't you see I'm dyin' on my feet 
G                                A 
Walkin' to my grave, too gone to weep 
          G                         D 
These old memories is tearin' up my mind 
             A                        D 
They?re just dreams of a dreamer gone blind 
 
 
The bright lights have gone away for the good times 
This old yearning in my soul chills my brain 
The ashes of my years have been scattered 
By the laughter, wine and life of yesterday 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
These old memories is tearin' up my mind 
They?re just dreams of a dreamer gone blind
