Turn A Deaf Ear

[INTRO:] C

[VERSE 1:]
    G              F               
The stage director stood up and he 
C
called the actors down
   G                 F       
He asked them all to say three 
                            C
words, 'Up', 'Down' and 'Around'
     G                 F          
So, 'Up', 'Down' and 'Around' they
            C
 cried with one according voice
    G             F               
And up, down and around they went,
                       C
 for it was their only choice


[CHORUS:]
           Dm          G      C
I can only turn again, to the front 
again
        Dm          G      C
Only to turn again, to the rear
            Dm          G         
Turn again, turn again, turn, 
  C
turn, turn, again
      F           G       C
I can listen, but I can't hear


[VERSE 2:]
   G                        F     
My friend's girl, she has a 
          C
wireless aerial sticking out of her 
head
      G              F            
And a pile of true romances lying 
               C
underneath the bed
      G               F            
And a giant poster of Rabby Noakes 
C
just beside the door

      G                     F  
But I know she'll get along fine 
without him if it doesn't see her 
     C
anymore


[CHORUS:]
           Dm          G      C
I can only turn again, to the front 
again
        Dm          G      C
Only to turn again, to the rear
            Dm          G         
Turn again, turn again, turn, 
  C
turn, turn, again
      F           G       C
I can listen, but I can't hear


[VERSE 3:]
    G                         F   
The strings were cut from the 
          C
guitar puppet singer on the stage
        G            F            
And his music became furious and 
                      C
he stamped his foot in rage
    G                     F       
The girls all screamed in agony, 
   C
the boys they gaped in fear
        G                     F   
And the song was called 'Have 
             C
Mercy Baby, Have Mercy On My Ear'


[CHORUS:]
           Dm          G      C
I can only turn again, to the front 
again
        Dm          G      C
Only to turn again, to the rear
            Dm          G         
Turn again, turn again, turn, 
  C
turn, turn, again
      F           G       C
I can listen, but I can't hear


[VERSE 4:]
    G               F             
I remember what the old man said 
      C
on his little wooden stand
      G          F            
As he spoke very quietly with a 
                C
waving of his hand
 G               F                
"Every pigeon to its own hole", 
  C
but what he seemed to say
  G                F              
I know I should go looking for, a 
                C
better place to stay


[CHORUS:]
           Dm          G      C
I can only turn again, to the front 
again
        Dm          G      C
Only to turn again, to the rear
            Dm          G         
Turn again, turn again, turn, 
  C
turn, turn, again
      F           G       C
I can listen, but I can't hear
            Dm          G         
Turn again, turn again, turn, 
  C
turn, turn, again
      F           Dm  G        C 
I can listen, but I_____ can't
