Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep,
F G
Turn, turn, turn again,
C F
Sayin' one of your friends is in trouble deep,
Dm F G
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
C F C
Tell me, the trouble tell once to my ear,
F G
Turn, turn, turn again,
C F
Joliet prison and ninety-nine years.
Dm F G
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.

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

G crash on the highway flew the car to a field,
F G
Turn, turn, turn again,
C F

Dm F G
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
C F C
But I knew him as good as I'm knowin' myself,
F G
Turn, turn, turn again,
C F
And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else.
Dm F G
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
C F C
The judge spoke out of the side of his mouth,
F G
Turn, turn, turn again,
C F
Sayin' the witness who saw he left little doubt.
Dm F G
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
C F C
That may be true he's got a sentence to serve,
F G
Turn, turn, turn again,
C F
But ninety-nine years he just don't deserve.
Dm F G
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
C F C
Too late, too late for his case it is sealed
F G
Turn, turn, turn again,
C F
His sentence is passed and it cannot be repealed.
Dm F G
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
C F C
But he ain't no criminal and his crime it is none,
F G
Turn, turn, turn again,
C F

Dm F G
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.

Dm F G
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
C F C
Well his eyes looked funny and I stood up so slow,
F G
Turn, turn, turn again,
C F
With no other choice except but for to go.

F G
Turn, turn, turn again,
C F
I walked down the courthouse stairs and I could not understand.
Dm F G
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
C F C
And I played my guitar through the night to the day,
F G
Turn, turn, turn again,
C F
And the only tune my guitar could play
Dm F G
Was "Old cruel rain and the wind."
