 [G]Things got []rough, []things got []tough,

 [G]Just []yesterday []morning, []
an [C]ill [G]wind [A7]came[]
It [D7]came and []blew your []picture []
Right [|C]out of the [|D7]picture [G]frame[][]

 [G]Even []blew the []candle in the []window 
 [C]out from [G]under the [A7]flame[]
 [D7]Just []yesterday []morning []
an [|C]ill [|D7]wind [G]came[][]
