Tom Rush       Urge For Going  written by Joni Mitchelll


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