Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Bad news, bad news,
[C]come to me where I [G]sleep[Am]
Turn, turn, turn [D]again
Sayin' [G]one of my friends is
in [C]trouble [Am]deep
Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain

[Verse 2]
[G]Tell me the trouble,
tell me [C]once to my [G]ears[Am]
Turn, turn, turn [D]again[G]
Juliet prison for [C]ninety-nine years
[Am]years
Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain

[Verse 3]
A [G]crash on the highway threw a
[C]car into a [G]field[Am]
Turn, turn, turn [D]again
There were [G]four people killed and
[C]he was at the [Am]wheel
Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain

[Verse 4]
But I [G]knew him as well as I
[C]know my own [G]self[Am]
Turn, turn, turn [D]again
And he [G]wouldn't harm a life that be
[C]longed to someone [Am]else
Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain

[Verse 5]
That [G]may be so said the [C]judge from
the side of his [G]mouth[Am]
Turn, turn, turn [D]again
But the [G]witness who saw it,
[C]he left little [Am]doubt
Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain

[Verse 6]
He [G]may, he may have a sen
[C]tence [G]to server[Am]
Turn, turn, turn [D]again
But [G]ninety-nine years, years,
he just [C]does not [Am]deserve
Turn, turn to [C]the wind and the rain
[D]

[Verse 7]
Too [G]late, too late,
for his [C]case it is [G]sealed[Am]
Turn, turn, turn [D]again
A [G]sentence, it is passed and it
[C]can not be [Am]repealed
Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain

[Verse 8]
But [G]he ain't no criminal and
his [C]crime it is [G]none[Am]
Turn, turn, turn [D]again
And what [G]happened to him could
have [C]happened to [Am]anyone
Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain

[Verse 9]
At [G]that the judge jumped forward
and his [C]face it did [G]freeze[Am]
Turn, turn, turn [D]again
Sayin', [G]?Would you kindly leave my [C]office now,
[Am]please?
Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the rain
[D]

[Verse 10]
I [G]squinted my eyes and I
[C]stood up [G]slow[Am]
Turn, turn, turn [D]again
With [G]no other choice except
[C]for me to [Am]go
Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the [D]rain

[Verse 11]
I [G]walked down the hall and I
[C]heard his door [G]slam[Am]
Turn, turn, turn [D]again
I [G]walked down the stairs but I
[C]did not [Am]understand
Turn, turn to the [C]wind and the rain
[D]

[Verse 12]
And I [G]played my guitar through the
[C]night and through the [G]day[Am]
Turn, turn, turn [D]again
But the [G]only tune that [C]my
guitar would play
Was [Am]oh how cruel, the wi[C]nd and the r[D]ain
