Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
Sayin' one of your friends is in trouble deep,
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
Tell me, the trouble tell once to my ear,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
Joliet prison and ninety-nine years.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
Oh what's the charge of how this came to be,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
Manslaughter in the highest of degree.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
I sat down and wrote the best words I could write,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
Explaining to the judge I'd be there on Wednesday night.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
Without a reply I left by the moon,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
And was in his chambers by the next afternoon.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
Could ya tell me the facts? I said without fear,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
That a friend of mine would get ninety-nine years.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
A# crash on the highway flew the car to a field,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
There was four persons killed and he was at the wheel.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
But I knew him as good as I'm knowin' myself,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
The judge spoke out of the side of his mouth,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
Sayin' the witness who saw he left little doubt.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
That may be true he's got a sentence to serve,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
But ninety-nine years he just don't deserve.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
Too late, too late for his case it is sealed
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
His sentence is passed and it cannot be repealed.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
But he ain't no criminal and his crime it is none,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
What happened to him could happen to anyone.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
And at that the judge jerked forward and his face it did freeze,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
Sayin' "Could you kindly leave my office now, please."
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
Well his eyes looked funny and I stood up so slow,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
With no other choice except but for to go.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
I walked down the hallway and I heard his door slam,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
I walked down the courthouse stairs and I could not understand.
Fm G# A#
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
D# G# D#
And I played my guitar through the night to the day,
G# A#
Turn, turn, turn again,
D# G#
And the only tune my guitar could play
Fm G# A#
Was "Old cruel rain and the wind."
