On The Turning Away
Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd
[5th down] ~~~~~ C ~~~~~
Am G C F Am On the turning away... from the pale and downtrodden G C F And the words they say which we won't understand Am F C Don't accept that what's happening Am C F Is just a case of others' suffering Am C F Am G C Or you'll find that you're joining... in the Turning Away..... Am G C F Am It's a sin that somehow... light is changing to shadow G C F And casting its shroud over all we have known Am F C Am C F Unaware how the ranks have grown ... driven on by hearts of stone Am C F Am G C We could find that we're all alone in the dreams of the proud..... Am G C F Am On the wings of the night... as the daytime is slurring G C F Where the speechless unite in a silent accord C F Am Using words you will find are strange C Am F And mesmerized as they light the flames Am C F Am G C Feel the new wind of change... on the wings of the night..... Am G C F Am No more turning away... from the weak and the weary Am G C F No more turning away from the coldness inside C F Am Just a world that we all must share C Am F It's not enough just to stand and stare Am C F Am G C Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away?

Lyrics: 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 It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow And casting its shroud Over all we have known Unaware how the ranks have grown Driven on by a heart of stone We could find that we're all alone in the dream of the proud On the wings of the night As the daytime is slurring Where the speechless unite In a silent accord Using words you will find are strange And mesmerized as they light the flame Feel the new wind of change, on the wings of the night No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside Just a world that we all must share It's not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away?

It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow
A D G
And casting its shroud Over all we have known

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

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

On the wings of the night As the daytime is slurring

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