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His sentence is passed and it cannot be repealed.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