     THE CHILL OF AN EARLY FALL     George Strait







Intro chords   F C F Bb C Dm Eb F







      F             Am          Dm         Bb                  F               



Well her old friend    from her old end of town dropped by to-day



     F              Am         Dm                           G    



And way down deep inside me something died when he came a-round



                 C



To see her that way



          F     Am        Dm                        Bb



Here it comes again that same old chilly wind will blow



Am                       G



   Like a cold winter squawl



      F                C                F    C 



I be-gin to feel the chill of an early fall



C              F       Am        Dm                  Bb   F



And I'll be drinking again And thinking whenever he calls



C           F          Am  Dm                         



There's a storm coming on and it won't be too long



           G         C



Till the snow falls



             F    Am       Dm                      Bb 



Oh I'll be sober some but when octoboer comes and goes



                G 



In not time at all



         F                C                 F



I'll be-gin to feel the chill of an early fall



                   Bb



Oh quickly she'll walk away



                       F



Here today and gone tomorrow



                      Dm



Loving seasons never stay



G                           Bb   C 



   Bitter winds are sure to fol-low



                 F   Am       Dm                 Bb   



Now there's no doubt    It's gonna be cold out tonight



                    F



I've shivered all day



         F          Am   Dm                       G 



When I look in her eyes and even to hold her so tight



                  C



She just looks a-way



             F             Am   Dm                               Bb



Oh she'll swear that it's true  He's just someone she knew long ago



Am                        G



   But I know that's not all



      F                 C               Dm   G



I be-gin to feel the chill of an early fall



            F                C                Bb   A  OPEN  F 



Oh I'll be-gin to feel the chill of an early fall
