Percys Song

    D                       G     
Bad news, bad news, come to me 
       D
where I sleep,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
        D                       
Sayin' one of your friends is in 
   G
trouble deep,
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.



 D                         G      
Tell me, the trouble tell once to 
    D
my ear,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
 D                 G
Joliet prison and ninety-nine years.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.



D                        G       
Oh what's the charge of how this 
        D
came to be,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
D                     G
Manslaughter in the highest of 
degree.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.



   D                      G       
I sat down and wrote the best 
           D
words I could write,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
D                                
Explaining to the judge I'd be there
G
 on Wednesday night.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.


  D                 G           D
Without a reply I left by the moon,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
     D                          G
And was in his chambers by the next 
afternoon.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.


  D                          G    
Could ya tell me the facts?  I 
           D

  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
 D                             
That a friend of mine would get 
    G
ninety-nine years.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.


   D                             G
A crash on the highway flew the 
         D
car to a field,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
           D                       
There was four persons killed and 
  G
he was at the wheel.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.


       D                     
But I knew him as good as I'm 
   G        D
knowin' myself,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
    D                           
And he wouldn't harm a life that 
    G
belonged to someone else.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.


     D                      G     
The judge spoke out of the side of
       D
 his mouth,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
             D                 G
Sayin' the witness who saw he left 
little doubt.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.


 D                             G  
That may be true he's got a 
        D
sentence to serve,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
      D                    G
But ninety-nine years he just don't 
deserve.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.


 D                          G     
Too late, too late for his case it
       D
 is sealed
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
       D                       G
His sentence is passed and it cannot
 be repealed.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.


    D                           
But he ain't no criminal and his 
   G           D
crime it is none,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
        D                     G
What happened to him could happen to
 anyone.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.


        D                          
And at that the judge jerked 
           G            D
forward and his face it did freeze,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
         D                       
Sayin' "Could you kindly leave my 
   G
office now, please."
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.


     D                          
Well his eyes looked funny and I 
   G          D
stood up so slow,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
     D                 G
With no other choice except but for 
to go.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.


    D                          
I walked down the hallway and I 
   G             D
heard his door slam,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
    D                              
I walked down the courthouse stairs
         G
 and I could not understand.
Em                 G             A
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.


        D                          
And I played my guitar through the 
  G           D
night to the day,
  G                A
Turn, turn, turn again,
          D            G
And the only tune my guitar could 
play
Em              G             A
Was "Old cruel rain and the wind."
