On The Turning Away

Em

G
On the turning away
C
Em
From the pale and downtrodden
D
G
And the words they say
C
Which we won’t understand
Em
C
G
“Don’t accept that what’s happening
Em
G
C
Is just a case of all the suffering
G
C
Em
Or you’ll find that you’re joining in
D
G
The turning away”
Em
D
G
It’s a sin that somehow
C
Em
Light is changing to shadow
D
G
And casting it’s shroud
C
Over all we have known
Em
C
G
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Em
G
C
Driven on by a heart of stone
G
C
Em
We could find that we’re all alone
D
G
In the dream of the proud
Em
D
G
On the wings of the night
C
Em
As the daytime is stirring
D
G
Where the speechless unite
C
In a silent accord
Em
C
G
Using words you will find are strange
Em
G
C
And mesmerised as they light the flame
G
C
Feel the new wind of change
Em
D
G
On the wings of the night
Em
D
G
No more turning away
C
Em
From the weak and the weary
D
G
No more turning away
C
From the coldness inside
Em
C
G
Just aworld that we all must share
Em
G
C
It’s not enough just to stand and stare
G
C
Em
Is it only a dream that there’ll be
D
G
No more turning away ?
