G C - G - A7 D C - D - G G C G A7 Things got rough, things got tough, things got harder than hard. D C D G We were just tryin' to make a living in our backyard. G C G A7 We were born too late, died too soon - anxiety's a terrible crime. D C D G If you can't come now, don't come at all 'cause it's a crooked piece of time. G C - G - A7 It's a crooked piece of time that we live in. D C D G All in all and all in all, it was a crooked piece of time.
Yesterday morning, an ill wind came.
Blew your picture right out of the picture frame.
Even blew the candle out from underneath the flame.
Yesterday morning an ill wind came.
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in.
All in all and all in all, it was a crooked piece of time.
Things got rough, things got tough, things got harder than hard.
We were just tryin' to make a living in our back yard.
We were born too late, died too soon - anxiety's a terrible crime.
If you can't come now, don't come at all 'cause it's a crooked piece of time.
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in.
All in all and all in all, it was a crooked piece of time.
It's a crooked piece of time.
It's a crooked piece of time.
(Words and music by John Prine, 1977)
