Gordon Bok – Turning Toward The Morning (Guitar)

         G                            C
When the deer has bedded down and the bear has gone to ground

        G                                  C              D
And the Northern goose has wandered off to warmer bay and sound

        G                            C
It's so easy in the cold to feel the darkness of the year

        G                D              C        G
And the heart is growing lonely for the morning

       D                               G
Oh, my Joanie, don't you know that the stars are swinging slow

        G                             C            D
And the seas are rolling easy as they did so long ago?

     G                                C
If I had a thing to give you, I would tell you one more time

         G               D                  C        G  D  G
That the world is always turning toward the morning

       G                          C
When October's growing thin and November's coming home

          G                              C                      D
You'll be thinking of the season and the sad things that you've seen

        G                                    C
And you hear that old wind walking, hear him singing high and thin

          G                    D               C       G
You could swear he's out there singing of your sorrow

       D                               G
Oh, my Joanie, don't you know that the stars are swinging slow

        G                             C            D
And the seas are rolling easy as they did so long ago?

     G                                C
If I had a thing to give you, I would tell you one more time

         G               D                  C        G  D  G
That the world is always turning toward the morning

       G                                 C
So the darkness falls around you and you hear the North wind blow

        G                                 C                 D
And you hear him call your name out as he walks the brittle snow

         G                                     C
That old wind don't mean you trouble, he don't care or even know

          G                D                   C        G
He's just walking down the darkness toward the morning

       D                               G
Oh, my Joanie, don't you know that the stars are swinging slow

        G                             C            D
And the seas are rolling easy as they did so long ago?

     G                                C
If I had a thing to give you, I would tell you one more time

         G               D                  C        G  D  G
That the world is always turning toward the morning

       G                           C
It's a pity we don't know what the little flowers know

           G                                  C                 D
They can't face the cold November, they can't take the wind and snow

               G                                  C
They put their glories all behind them, bow their heads and let it go

        G                     D              C        G
But you know they'll be there shining in the morning

       D                               G
Oh, my Joanie, don't you know that the stars are swinging slow

        G                             C            D
And the seas are rolling easy as they did so long ago?

         G                                C
And if I had a thing to give you, I would tell you one more time

         G               D                  C        G  D  G
That the world is always turning toward the morning
