Slow Turning - John Hiatt
Now here's a final version of this very nice song by John Hiatt, in the original key.
VERSE 1 C F Bb F C F Bb F
When I was a boy'?. I thought it just came to ya
But I never could tell what's mine, so it didn't matter anyway
My only pride and joy was this record down here
Banging on an old guitar, singin' what I had to say.
[G] I always thought our house was haunted
[Dm] 'Cause nobody said 'boo' to[F] me[C]
[G] I never did get what I wanted
[Dm] But now I get what I need[F]
CHORUS: C F Bb F C F Bb F
It's been a slow turning ? 'from the inside out
A slow turning baby but you come about
A slow learning but you learn to sweat, a hey, hey, hey
A slow turning baby not fade away, not fade away, not fade away
VERSE 2
Now I'm in my c[C]ar,[F]?[Bb]?[F]? ooh I've got the radio do[C]wn[F][Bb][F]
Now me yellin' at the kids in the back, cause they're banging like Charlie Watts
You think you come so far in this one horse town
Then she's laughing that crazy laugh, cause you haven't left the parking lot
[G] Time is short, and here's the damned thing about it
[Dm] You're gonna die, gonna[F] die f[C]or sure
[G] You can learn to live with love or without it
[Dm] But there ain't[F] no cure
CHORUS C F Bb F C F Bb F
There's just a slow turning'?.. from the inside out
A slow turning but you come about
A slow learning you learn to sweat, a hey, hey, hey
A slow turning baby not fade away, not fade away, not fade away, not fade away, not
away
