CAPO: 4th Fret
CLinda lost her lover in the early part of autumn 
And she Fmoved out to the country hoping all would be forgotten 
The Clast time that I saw her she was making sure the winter 
Wouldn't Amcome through that old door frame 
Where the Fdoor is several inches from the Cground, the Gcold hard Fground 
CHORUS:
And it's Ghard to go down Feasy 
And it's Ghard to keep from Fcrying
And it's Ghard to lose a Flover
In the early part of Cau-au-Gau-au-Ftumn C  Bb  C  Bb  F  
Well, she Clearned to cook the meals and she learned to start the fire 
And she Flearned to make jewellery out of stones and precious metals 
She Csits down to the table with her friends and several others 
And she Amtries real hard to never be aFlone 
CHORUS:
And it's Ghard to go down Feasy 
And it's Ghard to keep from Fcrying
And it's Ghard to lose a Flover
In the early part of Cau-au-Gau-au-Ftumn C  Bb  C  Bb  F  C  Bb  C  Bb  F  
Now the Cwinter wind blows cold upon a fair and gentle soul 
And she Ffeels as if her time is a-passing Ceasy 
Her Amfriends are sometimes lovers, though there'll Falways be another 
She Cthinks about when Gnight time lays on Fdown 
CHORUS:
And it's Ghard to go down Feasy 
And it's Ghard to keep from Fcrying
And it's Ghard to lose a Flover
In the early part of Cau-au-Gau-au-Ftumn 
And it's Ghard to go down Feasy 
And it's Ghard to keep from Fcrying
And it's Ghard to lose a Flover
