Chords

[Intro] A D G D x4 [Verse]
       A     D    G
When I was a boy

  D               A    D     G
I thought it just came to ya

D           A     D           G
But I never could tell what's mine,

       D            A      D  G  D
so it didn't matter anyway

        A         D    G  D
My only pride and joy,

         A           D     G
was this racket down here

D             A   D   G
Banging on an old guitar,

D              A       D   G  D
singin' what I had to say.

E
 I always thought our house was haunted

Bm                   D       A
 'Cause nobody said 'boo' to me

E
 I never did get what I wanted

Bm                    D      N.C.
 But now I get what I need
[Chorus]
                 A      D  G
It's been a slow turning

D               A   D  G
from the inside out

  D    A       D    G
A slow turning baby

        D     A   D  G
but you come about

  D    A        D G
A slow learning,   but you

D        A            D     G
learn to sway, a hey, hey

  D    A       D    G    D     A
A slow turning baby  not fade away,

    D     G        D     A   D G D
not fade away, not fade away
[Break] A D G D x3 [Verse]
        A     D    G
Now I'm in my car,

D             A     D     G
ooh I got the radio down

D       A              D           G
Now I’m yellin' at the kids in the back,

               D
‘cause they're banging like

A           D  G  D
Charlie Watts

              A       D   G  D
You think you come so far

        A         D    G
in this one horse town

D          A             D     G
Then she's laughing that crazy laugh,

           D
‘cause you haven't left the

A          D  G  D
parking lot

E
 Time is short, and here's the

E
damned thing about it

Bm                       D       A
 You're gonna die, gonna die for sure

E
You can learn to live with

E
love or without it

Bm                  D       N.C.
 But there ain't no cure
[Chorus]
                 A     D   G
It's been a slow turning

D               A   D  G
from the inside out

  D    A       D   G
A slow turning

        D     A   D  G
but you come about

  D    A              D   G
A slow turning, baby, but you

D        A            D     G
learn to sway, a hey, hey

  D    A       D G    D     A
A slow turning    not fade away,

    D     G        D     A
not fade away, not fade away

    D     G        D     A   D G D
not fade away, not fade away
[Outro] A D G D x3
D     A     D G D    A      D G
Slow Turning    Slow Turning

D    A      D G D    A      D G D   A
Slow Turning    Slow Turning
