Tom Rush Urge For Going written by Joni Mitchelll
BB A augmentedA BB
And I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
BB A augmentedA BB
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
E MajorE D MajorD
When the sun turns traitor cold
E MajorE D MajorD F#F#
And shivering trees are standing in a naked row
BB A augmentedA BB
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
A augmentedA E MajorE BB A augmentedA E MajorE BB
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
A augmentedA E MajorE BB A augmentedA BB
Summertime is falling down winter's closing in
BB A augmentedA BB
I had a girl in summertime with summer colored skin
BB A augmentedA BB
And not another man in town my darling's heart could win
E MajorE D MajorD
But when the leaves fell trembling down
E MajorE D MajorD F#F#
And bully winds did rub their face down in the snow
BB A augmentedA BB
She got the urge for going I had to let her go
A augmentedA E MajorE BB A augmentedA E MajorE BB
She got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
A augmentedA E MajorE BB A augmentedA BB
And summertime was falling down and winters closing in
BB A augmentedA BB
Now the warriors of winter they give a cold triumphant shout
BB A augmentedA BB
All that stays is dying all that lives is getting out
E MajorE D MajorD
See the geese in chevron flight
E MajorE D MajorD F#F#
Flapping and a-racin on before the snow
BB A augmentedA BB
Got the urge for going they've got the wings to go
BB A augmentedA E MajorE BB A augmentedA E MajorE BB
And they get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
A augmentedA E MajorE BB A augmentedA BB
Summertime is falling down and winter's closing in
BB A augmentedA BB
I'll ply the fire with kindling, I'll pull the blankets to my chin
BB A augmentedA BB
I'll lock the vagrant winter out I'll bolt my wandering in
E MajorE D MajorD
I'd like to call back summertime
E MajorE D MajorD F#F#
And have her stay for just another month or so
BB A augmentedA BB
But she's got the urge for going I guess she'll have to go
BB A augmentedA E MajorE BB A augmentedA E MajorE BB
And she's gets the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning
brown
A augmentedA E MajorE BB A augmentedA BB
All her empire's are falling down winter's closing in
A augmentedA E MajorE BB A augmentedA E MajorE BB
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
A augmentedA E MajorE BB A augmentedA BB A augmentedA BB A augmentedA BB
And summertime is falling down
