On The Turning Away

Em     D        G
  On the turning away
          C            Em
  From the pale and downtrodden
         D          G
  And the words they say
          C
  Which we won't understand

       Em                 C    G
  Don't accept that what's happening
    Em                     G    C
  Is just a case of all the suffering
 G                          C
  Or you'll find that you're joining
 Em     D        G
  In the turning away

 Em     D            G
  It's a sin that somehow
          C           Em
  Light is changing to shadow
     D            G
  And casting it's shroud
      C
  Over all we have known
 Em              C          G
  Unaware how the ranks have grown
    Em          G        C
  Driven on by a heart of stone
    G                     C   Em
  We could find that we're all alone
        D            G
  In the dream of the proud


Em      D            G
  On the wings of the night
        C          Em
  As the daytime is stirring
           D          G
  Where the speechless unite
      C
  In a silent accord
 Em                   C        G
  Using words you will find are strange
     Em                 G          C
  And mesmerised as they light the flame
 G                    C
  Feel the new wind of change
 Em     D            G
  On the wings of the night

Solo


 Em      D        G
  No more turning away
          C            Em
  From the weak and the weary
         D        G
  No more turning away
          C
  From the coldness inside
  Em                 C        G
  Just aworld that we all must share
 Em                      G         C
  It's not enough just to stand and stare
 G            C                   Em
  Is it only a dream that there'll be
         D       G
  No more turning away ?
