"Turning of the Tide" (Thompson)
As played acoustically by RT.
Like with "Valerie", the song is
carried by strumming the bass strings with
thumbpick in a rock n roll rhythm.
Chords and solo notes played with other fingers.
[intro]
D
[verse]
D How many boys, one night stands, how many lips, how many hands, D A G A have held you, like I'm holding you tonight? D Too many nights staying up late, too much powder and too much paint, D A G A D oh, you can't hide from the turning of the tide.
[verse]
Bm D G Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress? Bm D G A Did they find some tender moment there in your caress? D The boys all say "You look so fine", they dont come back for a second time, A G A D oh, you can't hide from the turning of the tide.
[solo]

[verse]
Bm D G Poor little sailor boy, never set eyes on a woman before. Bm D A Did he tell you that he'd love you darling, forevermore? D Pretty little shoes, cheap perfume, creaking bed in a hotel room, A G A D oh, you can't hide from the turning of the tide.
