Lindisfarne - Turn A Deaf Ear


CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO:: C

VERSE 1::
  G       F        C
The stage director stood up and he called the actors down
  G         F                  C
He asked them all to say three words, 'Up', 'Down' and 'Around'
   G         F           C
So, 'Up', 'Down' and 'Around' they cried with one according voice
  G       F                   C
And up, down and around they went, for it was their only choice

CHORUS::
      Dm     G   C
I can only turn again, to the front again
    Dm     G   C
Only to turn again, to the rear
      Dm     G      C
Turn again, turn again, turn, turn, turn, again
   F      G    C
I can listen, but I can't hear


VERSE 2::
  G            F        C
My friend's girl, she has a wireless aerial sticking out of her head
   G       F              C
And a pile of true romances lying underneath the bed
   G        F      C
And a giant poster of Rabby Noakes just beside the door
   G           F                     C
But I know she'll get along fine without him if it doesn't see her anymore


CHORUS::
      Dm     G   C
I can only turn again, to the front again
    Dm     G   C
Only to turn again, to the rear
      Dm     G      C
Turn again, turn again, turn, turn, turn, again
   F      G    C
I can listen, but I can't hear


VERSE 3::
  G             F       C
The strings were cut from the guitar puppet singer on the stage
    G      F                 C
And his music became furious and he stamped his foot in rage
  G           F     C
The girls all screamed in agony, the boys they gaped in fear
    G           F        C
And the song was called 'Have Mercy Baby, Have Mercy On My Ear'


CHORUS::
      Dm     G   C
I can only turn again, to the front again
    Dm     G   C
Only to turn again, to the rear
      Dm     G      C
Turn again, turn again, turn, turn, turn, again
   F      G    C
I can listen, but I can't hear


VERSE 4::
  G        F          C
I remember what the old man said on his little wooden stand
   G     F              C
As he spoke very quietly with a waving of his hand
 G        F         C
"Every pigeon to its own hole", but what he seemed to say
 G        F               C
I know I should go looking for, a better place to stay


CHORUS::
      Dm     G   C
I can only turn again, to the front again
    Dm     G   C
Only to turn again, to the rear
      Dm     G      C
Turn again, turn again, turn, turn, turn, again
   F      G    C
I can listen, but I can't hear
      Dm     G      C
Turn again, turn again, turn, turn, turn, again
   F      Dm G    C  G Bb A Ab G C
