Turn to stone       (midi)

 

     C                                              D                                               - Dm

1.      The city streets are empty now, the lights don’t shine no mo…re,

                                                        Fm               G             

    and so the songs are way down low, turning, turning, turning.

C                                               D                                         - Dm

    A sound that flows into my mind, the echoes of the dayli….ght,

                                     Fm        G             C

    of everything that is alive, in my blue world.

 

  Am                          Em                    Dm                 - Dm-Em-F-G

I turn to stone, when you are gone, I turn to stone.

 Am                                 Em                   Dm              - Dm-Em-F-G - C        

Turn to stone, when you comin' home, I can't go on.

 

     C                                           D                                               Dm

2.      The dying embers of the night, a fire that slowly fades till dawn,

                                               Fm                    G             

    still glow upon the wall so bright, burning, burning, burning.

C                                                D                                                 Dm

    The tired streets that hide away, from here to everywhere you go,

                                            Fm       G            C

    roll past my door into the day in my blue world.

 

  Am                          Em                    Dm                 - Dm-Em-F-G

I turn to stone, when you are gone, I turn to stone.

 Am                                 Em                   Dm              - Dm-Em-F-G       

Turn to stone, when you comin' home, I can't go on.

  Am                          Em                    Dm                 - Dm-Em-F-G

I turn to stone, when you are gone, I turn to stone.

 

                  G#

   Yes, I'm turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home.

                  C#   

   Why you ain't comin' home if I'm turnin' to stone?

                        Bb

   You've been gone for so long and I can't carry on,

                 C#                                                        - C

   yes, I'm turnin', I'm turnin', I'm turnin' to stone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   C                                                  D                                    - Dm

3.    The dancing shadows on the wall, the two-step in the ha….ll,

                                                      Fm                 G             

    are all I see since you've been gone turning, turning, turning.

C                                               D                                          Dm

    Through all I sit here and I wait, I turn to stone, I turn to stone,

                                               Fm      G            C

    you will return again some day to my blue world.

 

  Am                          Em                    Dm                 - Dm-Em-F-G

I turn to stone, when you are gone, I turn to stone.

 Am                                 Em                   Dm              - Dm-Em-F-G  

Turn to stone, when you comin' home, I can't go on.

  Am                          Em                    Dm                 - Dm-Em-F-G - C

I turn to stone, when you are gone, I turn to stone.
