Turn a Deaf Ear Lindisfarne
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] C
[VERSE 1:]
The [G]stage director [F]stood up and he [C]called the actors down
He [G]asked them all to [F]say three words, 'Up', 'Down' and 'A[C]round'
So, '[G]Up', 'Down' and 'A[F]round' they cried with [C]one according voice
And [G]up, down and a[F]round they went, for it was their only [C]choice
[CBORUS:]
I can only [Dm]turn again, [G]to the [C]front again
Only to [Dm]turn again, [G]to the [C]rear
Turn again, [Dm]turn again, [G]turn, turn, [C]turn, again
I can [F]listen, but [G]I can't [C]hear
[VERSE 2:]
My [G]friend's girl, she has a [F]wireless aerial [C]sticking out of her head
And a [G]pile of true ro[F]mances lying underneath the [C]bed
And a [G]giant poster of [F]Rabby Noakes [C]just beside the door
But I [G]know she'll get along [F]fine without him if it doesn't see her any[C]more
[CBORUS:]
I can only [Dm]turn again, [G]to the [C]front again
Only to [Dm]turn again, [G]to the [C]rear
Turn again, [Dm]turn again, [G]turn, turn, [C]turn, again
I can [F]listen, but [G]I can't [C]hear
[VERSE 3:]
The [G]strings were cut from the [F]guitar puppet [C]singer on the stage
And his [G]music became [F]furious and he stamped his foot in [C]rage
The [G]girls all screamed in [F]agony, the [C]boys they gaped in fear
And the [G]song was called 'Have [F]Mercy Baby, Have [C]Mercy On My Ear'
[CBORUS:]
I can only [Dm]turn again, [G]to the [C]front again
Only to [Dm]turn again, [G]to the [C]rear
Turn again, [Dm]turn again, [G]turn, turn, [C]turn, again
I can [F]listen, but [G]I can't [C]hear
[VERSE 4:]
I re[G]member what the [F]old man said on his [C]little wooden stand
As he [G]spoke very [F]quietly with a waving of his [C]hand
"[G]Every pigeon to [F]its own hole", but [C]what he seemed to say
I [G]know I should go [F]looking for, a better place to [C]stay
[CBORUS:]
I can only [Dm]turn again, [G]to the [C]front again
Only to [Dm]turn again, [G]to the [C]rear
Turn again, [Dm]turn again, [G]turn, turn, [C]turn, again
I can [F]listen, but [G]I can't [C]hear
Turn again, [Dm]turn again, [G]turn, turn, [C]turn, again
I can [F]listen, but [Dm]I___[G]__ can't [C]hear[G] [Bb] [A] [Ab] [G] [C]
