ON THE TURNING AWAY

PINK FLOYD

Solo voce:

‘ On the turning away from the pale and downtrodden

And the words  they  say  which we won't understand

"Don't accept that what's happening is just  a case of 

others'  suffering  or  you'll  find  that you're joining  in 

the turning away" ‘

Mim         Re/Fa#               Sol            Do           Mim

It's a sin that some how light is changing to shadow

    Re/Fa#        Sol           Do

And casting its shroud over all we have known

Mim              Do          Sol      Mim             Sol        Do

Unaware how the ranks have grown, driven on by a heart of stone

Sol                        Do    Mim          Re/Fa#         Sol

We could find that we're all alone in the dream of the proud.

Mim     Re/Fa#         Sol            Do           Mim

On the wings of the night as the day time is stirring

          Re/Fa#        Sol         Do

Where the speachless unite in a silent accord

Mim                   Do        Sol           Mim                 Sol        Do

Using words you will find are strange and mesmerized as they light the flame

Sol                    Do     Mim      Re/Fa#         Sol

Feel the new wind of change on the wings of the night

Mim  Re  Domaj7  Do  Re  Mim  Lam  Sol/Si  Domaj7  Re  Lam  Sol  Domaj7  Re  Mim

Mim               Sol           Do            Mim

No more turning away from the weak and the weary

        Re/Fa#     Sol            Do

No more turning away from the coldness inside

Mim                   Do        Sol           Mim                 Sol         Do

Just a world that we all must share, it's not enough just to stand and stare

Sol            Do                   Mim         Re/Fa#     Sol     Re/Fa#

Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away?
