Yesterday's newspapers forecasts no rain for today,
D/F# D G G/F# G/E D* E* F#*
but yesterday's news was old news, the skies are all grey.
G G/F# G/E Am Am Am/G
Winter's in labor and soon will give birth to the spring
D/F# D G G/F# G/E D* E* F#*
and sprinkle the meadows with flowers for my Angeline.
[Verse 2]
G G/F# G/E Am Am Am/G
Heartache and sorrow and sadness unendingly find,
D/F# D G G/F# G/E D* E* F#*
wings on a memory and with them she flies to my mind.
G G/F# G/E Am Am Am/G
She stretched her arms for a moment, then went back to sleep,
D/F# D G G/F# G/E D* E* F#*
while morning stood watching me ever so silently weak.
[Verse 3]
G G/F# G/E Am Am Am/G
She opened her eyes, Lord, the minute my feet touched the floor,
D/F# D G G/F# G/E D* E* F#*
the cold hard-wood creaked with each step that I made to the door.
G G/F# G/E Am Am Am/G
Then I turned to her gently and said, "Hon, just look, it's spring",
D/F# D G G/F# G/E D* E* F#*
knowing outside the window, the winter looked for Angeline.
[Outro 1]
G G/F# G/E Am Am Am/G
Yesterday's newspaper forecast no rain for today,

but yesterday's news is old news the skies are all grey.
