Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
Sayin' one of your friends is in trouble deep,
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
E A E
Tell me, the trouble tell once to my ear,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,

Joliet prison and ninety-nine years.
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.

Oh what's the charge of how this came to be,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
Manslaughter in the highest of degree.
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
E A E
I sat down and wrote the best words I could write,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
Explaining to the judge I'd be there on Wednesday night.
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
E A E
Without a reply I left by the moon,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
And was in his chambers by the next afternoon.
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
E A E
Could ya tell me the facts? I said without fear,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
That a friend of mine would get ninety-nine years.
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.

B crash on the highway flew the car to a field,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
There was four persons killed and he was at the wheel.
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
E A E
But I knew him as good as I'm knowin' myself,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else.
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
E A E
The judge spoke out of the side of his mouth,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
Sayin' the witness who saw he left little doubt.
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
E A E
That may be true he's got a sentence to serve,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
But ninety-nine years he just don't deserve.
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
E A E
Too late, too late for his case it is sealed
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
His sentence is passed and it cannot be repealed.
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
E A E
But he ain't no criminal and his crime it is none,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
What happened to him could happen to anyone.
F#m A B

Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
Sayin' "Could you kindly leave my office now, please."
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.

Well his eyes looked funny and I stood up so slow,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
With no other choice except but for to go.
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
E A E
I walked down the hallway and I heard his door slam,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
I walked down the courthouse stairs and I could not understand.
F#m A B
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
E A E
And I played my guitar through the night to the day,
A B
Turn, turn, turn again,
E A
And the only tune my guitar could play
F#m A B
Was "Old cruel rain and the wind."
