CAPO: 2nd Fret
[G]Bad News, bad news, has [C]come to where I [G]sleep
[Am]Turn, turn, turn a[D]gain[Dsus] [D]
G C (walk down bass to Am)
Saying one of my friends is in trouble deep
[Am]Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain[Dsus] [D]
[G]Tell me the trouble, tell me [C]once to my [G]ears
[Am]Turn, turn, turn a[D]gain[Dsus] [D]
G C (walk down bass to Am)
Joliet Prison for ninety-nine years
[Am]Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain[Dsus] [D]
A [G]crash on the highway threw a [C]car into a [G]field
[Am]Turn, turn, turn a[D]gain[Dsus] [D]
G C (walk down bass to Am)
There were four people killed and he was at the wheel
[Am]Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain[Dsus] [D]
But I [G]know him as well as I [C]know my own [G]self
[Am]Turn, turn, turn a[D]gain[Dsus] [D]
G C (walk down bass to Am)
And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else
[Am]Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain[Dsus] [D]
"That [G]may be so," said the [C]judge from the side of his [G]mouth
[Am]Turn, turn, turn a[D]gain[Dsus] [D]
G C (walk down bass to Am)
But the witness who saw it, he left little doubt
[Am]Turn, turn, to the[C] wind and the[D] rain[Dsus] [D]
He [G]may, he may have a [C]sentence for to [G]serve
[Am]Turn, turn, turn a[D]gain[Dsus] [D]
G C (walk down bass to Am)
But ninety-nine years he just does not deserve
[Am]Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain[Dsus] [D]
Too [G]late, too late, for his [C]case it is [G]sealed
[Am]Turn, turn, turn a[D]gain[Dsus] [D]
G C (walk down bass to Am)
His sentence it is passed and it cannot be repealed
[Am]Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain[Dsus] [D]
But [G]he ain't no criminal, and his [C]crime it is [G]none
[Am]Turn, turn, turn a[D]gain[Dsus] [D]
G C (walk down bass to Am)
And what happened to him could have happened to anyone
[Am]Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain[Dsus] [D]
At [G]that the judge jerked [C]forward and his [G]face it did freeze
[Am]Turn, turn, turn a[D]gain[Dsus] [D]
G C (walk down bass to Am)
Saying "Would you kindly leave my office now please"
[Am]Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain[Dsus] [D]
I [G]squinted my eyes and [C]I stood up so [G]slow,
[Am]Turn, turn turn ag[D]ain[Dsus] [D]
G C (walk down bass to Am)
With no other choice except for me to go
[Am]Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain[Dsus] [D]
Well, I [G]walked down the hall and I [C]heard his door s[G]lam
[Am]Turn, turn, turn a[D]gain[Dsus] [D]
G C (walk down bass to Am)
I walked down the stairs, but I could not understand
[Am]Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain[Dsus] [D]
I [G]played my guitar through the [C]night and through the [G]day
[Am]Turn, turn, turn a[D]gain[Dsus] [D]
G C (walk down bass to Am)
But the only tune that my guitar would play
Was [Am]oh, how cruel the [C]wind and the [D]rain[Dsus] [D]
