Pink Floyd - On The Turning Away

[Intro]
G
On the turning away
Em7
From the pale and downtrodden
G
And the words they say
C
Which we won’t understand

[Verse 1]
G Em
“Don’t accept that what’s happening
G C
Is just a case of others’ suffering
G Em
Or you’ll find that you’re joining in
Am G
The turning away”

[Verse 2]
G
It’s a sin that somehow
Em7
Light is changing to shadow
G
And casting it’s shroud
C
Over all we have known

[Verse 3]
G Em
Unaware how the ranks have grown
G C
Driven on by a heart of stone
G Em
We could find that we’re all alone
Am G
In the dream of the proud

[Verse 4]
G
On the wings of the night
Em7
As the daytime is stirring
G
Where the speechless unite
C
In a silent accord

[Verse 5]
G Em
Using words you will find are strange
G C
And mesmerized as they light the flame
G Em
Feel the new wind of change
Am G
On the wings of the night

[Verse 6]
G
No more turning away
Em7
From the weak and the weary
G
No more turning away
C
From the coldness inside

[Outro]
G Em
Just a world that we all must share
G C
It’s not enough just to stand and stare
G Em
Is it only a dream that there’ll be
Am G
No more turning away?
