Turning Words Terry Lee Ransom/Music Jan Hauenstein
My (C5)Momma died of heartache, my (F)Daddy died of fear,
My (C)Brother died of (C5)boredom, and I (Am)wonder why I’m here.
I (F)feel the planet turning, and I (E)wonder why I’m (Am)here.

(C) (C5) (C) (F) (Fadd9) (F) (C) (F) (C) (G/D) (hold)
Rise (C5)up to the occasion, cries the (F)beggar to the thief,
I’ll (C)let you share my (C5)laughter, if you (Am)let me share your grief.
I’ll (F)feel the planet turning, if you (E)let me share your (Am)grief.
Seven (C5)painters of the midnight blue tug my (F)soul to be alive,
Re(C)lease me from the (C5)never end, de(Am)fy the nine-to-five.
I’ll (F)feel the planet turning, de(E)fying nine-to-(Am)five.

Speak (C5)softly now the secret words, don’t (F)let them slip away,
My (C)Mom and Dad can’t (C5)hear them as they (Am)turn the night to day.
I (F)feel the planet turning, as they (E)turn the night to (Am)day.
My (C5)Momma died of heartache, my (F)Daddy died of fear,

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year......more
