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

Joliet prison and ninety-nine years.
Bm D E
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
A D A
Oh what's the charge of how this came to be,

Manslaughter in the highest of degree.
Bm D E
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
A D A
I sat down and wrote the best words I could write,

Turn, turn, turn again,
A D
Explaining to the judge I'd be there on Wednesday night.
Bm D E
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
A D A
Without a reply I left by the moon,
D E
Turn, turn, turn again,
A D
And was in his chambers by the next afternoon.
Bm D E
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
A D A
Could ya tell me the facts? I said without fear,
D E
Turn, turn, turn again,
A D
That a friend of mine would get ninety-nine years.
Bm D E
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.

A D A

D E
Turn, turn, turn again,
A D
And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else.
Bm D E
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
A D A
The judge spoke out of the side of his mouth,
D E
Turn, turn, turn again,
A D
Sayin' the witness who saw he left little doubt.
Bm D E
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
A D A
That may be true he's got a sentence to serve,
D E
Turn, turn, turn again,
A D
But ninety-nine years he just don't deserve.

Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
A D A
Too late, too late for his case it is sealed

Turn, turn, turn again,
A D
His sentence is passed and it cannot be repealed.

Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.
A D A
Well his eyes looked funny and I stood up so slow,

Turn, turn, turn again,
A D
With no other choice except but for to go.

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