Urge for Going Tom Rush
Tom Rush Urge For Going written by Joni Mitchelll
[B]And I awoke tod[A]ay and found the frost perched on the [B]town
[B]It hovered in a frozen sky [A]and gobbled summer down[B]
[E]When the sun turns t[D]raitor cold
[E]And shivering trees are [D]standing in a [F#]naked row
[B]I get the urge for [A]going but I never seem to [B]go
And I [A]get the [E]urge for [B]going when the [A]meadow [E]grass is t[B]urning brown
[A]Summert[E]ime is [B]falling down winter's [A]closing [B]in
[B]I had a girl in [A]summertime with summer colored [B]skin
[B]And not another man in town [A]my darling's heart could [B]win
[E]But when the leaves fell [D]trembling down
[E]And bully winds did [D]rub their face down i[F#]n the snow
[B]She got the urge for [A]going I had to let her [B]go
She [A]got the [E]urge for [B]going when the [A]meadow [E]grass was [B]turning brown
And [A]summert[E]ime was [B]falling down and winters [A]closing [B]in
[B]Now the warriors of [A]winter they give a cold triumphant [B]shout
[B]All that stays is dying [A]all that lives is getting [B]out
[E]See the geese in [D]chevron flight
[E]Flapping and a-[D]racin on befo[F#]re the snow
[B]Got the urge for [A]going they've got the wings t[B]o go
[B]And they [A]get the [E]urge for [B]going when the [A]meadow [E]grass is [B]turning brown
[A]Summerti[E]me is [B]falling down and winter's [A]closing i[B]n
[B]I'll ply the fire with [A]kindling, I'll pull the blankets to my [B]chin
[B]I'll lock the vagrant winter out [A]I'll bolt my wandering i[B]n
[E]I'd like to call back s[D]ummertime
[E]And have her stay for [D]just another [F#]month or so
[B]But she's got the urge for [A]going I guess she'll have to [B]go
[B]And she's [A]gets the [E]urge for [B]going when the [A]meadow [E]grass is [B]turning
brown
[A]All her [E]empire's are [B]falling down winter's [A]closing i[B]n
And I [A]get the [E]urge for [B]going when the [A]meadow [E]grass is t[B]urning brown
And [A]summert[E]ime is [B]falling down [A] [B] [A] [B] [A] [B]
