Bob Seger - Turn The Page
I like to play this about 1.5x faster than the original,
starting with the Em at the 7th fret with the open top string,
then going to more like a low E5 in the second part of the verse.
Changing positions keeps this fairly repetitive song from getting
stale. Actually I try to us as many voicings with the open high E
string as I can.
EmDEmEm
On a Emlong and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can Dlisten to the engine, moanin’ out its one note song
You can Athink about the woman, or the girl you knew the night Embefore
And your Emthoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
When you’re Driding sixteen hours and there’s nothing much to do
You Adon’t feel much like writing, you just wish the trip was through Em
But here I Dam, on the Emroad again
Here I Dam, up on Emstage
Here I Dgo, playing the Astar again
There I Cgo,Dturn the Empage
EmYou walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road
And you Dfeel the eyes upon you, as you’re shaking off the cold
You Apretend it doesn’t bother you, but you just want to Emexplode
EmSometimes you can hear ‘em talk, other times you can’t
And it’s all the Dsame cliches is that a woman or a man
And you Aalways seem outnumbered, you don’t dare make a Emstand
But here I Dam, on the Emroad again
Here I Dam, up on Emstage
Here I Dgo, playing the Astar again
There I Cgo,Dturn the Empage
Quiet, let chords ring...
EmOut there in the spotlight, you’re a million miles away
DEvery ounce of energy you try to give away
And the Asweat pours out your body like the music that you Emplay
EmLater on that evening, as you lie awake in bed
The Dechoes of the amplifiers ringin’ in your head
And you Asmoke the day’s last cigarette, remembering what she said Em
But here I Dam, on the Emroad again
Here I Dam, up on Emstage
Here I Dgo, playing the Astar again
There I Cgo,Dturn the Empage
Now getting loud again...
But here I Dam, on the Emroad again
Here I Dam, up on Emstage
Here I Dgo, playing the Astar again
There I Cgo,Dthere I Emgo
