verse 1 
              D            G             Em              G 
Well, when I woke up this morning, the sky was so bright 
             D            G 
It'd been a’rainin’  for days 
                          Em                    A 
Now it seemed like everything was a’gonna be alright 

                 D                      A 
But still those November winds keep a’blowin’ 
            G                       G 
And I'm forgetting just where to begin 
              D       G          D     G 
And then I'm lost in confusion again 
          D       G          D    G 
Yes, I'm lost in confusion again 

verse 2 
            D               G      Em                     G 
Well, the broom straw is a’dyin’, various shades of brown 
    D                    G                      Em                  A 
And over the hill I can see the skyline of the most famous Georgia college town 
 
             D                      A 
Still those November winds keep a’blowin’ 
                   G                  G 
And I'm forgetting   just where to begin 
          D       G           D   G 
Then I'm lost in confusion again 
          D          G       D    G 
Yes, I'm lost in confusion again 

Bridge 
 A                             G 
Just when I think I've tied up all my little ravels 
   D             A          G 
I come across a new row of tatters 
    A                           G 
It seems I'm getting sick of a’takin’ care of 
 D       A      G 
Life and other matters 

Interlude 
D G Em A 

verse 3 
                 D            G 
Well, there’s a few hundred blackbirds 
          Em          G 
That's a’coverin’ my yard 
           D                           G 
They're a’fallin’ from the trees like pecans 
            Em                                A 
‘cept they ain't hittin’ the ground quite as hard 

             D                          A 
Still those November winds keep on a’ blowin’ 
            G                       G 
And I'm forgetting just where to begin 
         D          G       D    G 
And I'm lost in confusion again 
          D       G           D   G 
Yes, I'm lost in confusion again
