[Intro]  Dx2    Dsus4 D   Dsus2

Dx2                                                       Gx2
Linda lost her lover in the early part of autumn, and she moved out to the country
                                   Dx2
Hoping all would be forgotten, the last time that I saw her, She was makin' sure the winter
         Bm                                          G                               D
Wouldn't come through that old door frame, where the door is several inches from the ground,
    A         G
The cold hard ground.


[Chorus]
         A               G              A                 G
And it's hard to go down easy; and it's hard to keep from cryin';
         A              G                            D   A  G     D  G   D  G
And it's hard to lose a lover, in the early part of aut-----umn ______________


          Dx2                                                                   Gx2
Well, she learned to cook the meals, And she learned to start the fire; And she learned to make jewelry,
                                      Dx2
Out of stones and precious metals, She sits down to the table, With her friends and several others
        Bm                 A        G
And she tries real hard to never be alone.


[Chorus]
         A               G              A                 G
And it's hard to go down easy; and it's hard to keep from cryin';
         A              G                            D   A  G
And it's hard to lose a lover, in the early part of aut-----umn


[Solo]    D    G    D   G    D    G   D    G


        Dx2                                                          G                             D
Now the winter wind blows cold, Upon a fair and gentle soul, And she feels as if her time is passin' easy,
    Bm                                           G                      D                     A
Her friends are sometimes lovers, Though they'll always be another, She thinks about when the night
             G
Time lays on down.



[Chorus]
         A               G              A                 G
And it's hard to go down easy; and it's hard to keep from cryin';
         A              G                            D   A  G
And it's hard to lose a lover, in the early part of aut-----umn
         A               G              A                 G
And it's hard to go down easy; and it's hard to keep from cryin';
         A              G                            D   A  G
And it's hard to lose a lover, in the early part of aut-----umn
