Verse 1
Slow Turning - John Hiatt
Now here’s a final version of this very nice song by John Hiatt, in the
original key.
When I was a [C][F]boy……….[Bb] I [F]thought it just came to [C][F]ya[F][Bb]
But I never could tell what's mine, so it didn't matter anyway
My only pride and joy was this record down here
Banging on an old guitar, singin' what I had to say.
[G] I always thought our house was haunted
[Dm] 'Cause nobody said 'boo' to[F] me[C]
[G] I never did get what I wanted
[Dm] But now I get what I need[F]
It's been a slow[C] [F][Bb]turning …[F] ……from the inside [C][F]out[F][Bb]
A slow turning baby but you come about
A slow learning but you learn to sweat, a hey, hey, hey
A slow turning baby not fade away, not fade away, not fade away
Verse 2
Now I'm in my [C][F]car,………[Bb] ooh[F] I've got the radio [C]down[F][Bb][F]
Now me yellin' at the kids in the back, cause they're banging like Charlie
Watts
You think you come so far in this one horse town
Then she's laughing that crazy laugh, cause you haven't left the parking
lot
[G] Time is short, and here's the damned thing about it
[Dm] You're gonna die, gonna[F] die [C]for sure
[G] You can learn to live with love or without it
[Dm] But there ain't[F] no cure
There's just a slow [C][F][Bb][F]turning……….. from the inside [C][F]out[F][Bb]
A slow turning but you come about
A slow learning you learn to sweat, a hey, hey, hey
A slow turning baby not fade away, not fade away, not fade away, not fade
away, not
away
