"Crooked Piece of Time" by John Prine from the album Bruised Orange [Intro] G G C C/B A7 D D C D G [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
[Chorus]
