     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
