B|----------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------| E|-3--------------------------------------| [Intro] N.C. On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won't understand "Don't accept that what's happening Is just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away" (Now the chords) [Verse 1] (Em) (D) G It's a sin that somehow C Em Light is changing to shadow D G And casting its shroud C Over all we have known Em C G Unaware how the ranks have grown Em G C Driven on by a heart of stone G C Em We could find that we're all alone D G In the dream of the proud [Verse 2] Em D G On the wings of the night C Em As the daytime is stirring D G Where the speechless unite C In a silent accord Em C G Using words you will find are strange Em G C And mesmerized as they light the flame G C Feel the new wind of change Em D G On the wings of the night [Instrumental] Em D C Em D Am C D Am C D Em [Verse 3] Em D G No more turning away C Em From the weak and the weary Em D G No more turning away C From the coldness inside Em C G Just a world that we all must share Em G C It's not enough just to stand and stare G C Em Is it only a dream that there'll be D G No more turning away? [Outro] Em C Em Em D G (x8)
