[Verse]
G
Things got rough, things got tough,
C          C/B         A7
Things got harder than hard
D7
We were just tryin' to make a living
   C   D   G
In our back yard
        G
We were born too late, died too soon.
  C         C/B      A7
Anxiety's a terrible crime
       D7
If you can't come now, don't come at all
              C       D        G
'Cause it's a crooked piece of time

[Chorus]
       G                                     C C/B A7
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
D7
All in all and all in all,
         C       D        G
it was a crooked piece of time

Yesterday morning, an ill wind came
D7                      C          D       G
Blew your picture right out of the picture frame
                              C   C/B         A7
Even blew the candle out from underneath the flame
D7                   C   D    G
Yesterday morning an ill wind came
