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His sentence is passed and it cannot be repealed.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