Pink Floyd - On The Turning Away

Originally in G, I play in C capo 2, highest note that matters is the 1p

Chords implied, the bass just holds the 1 in the original, but easier to just let the verse chords ring

COn the tGurning aCway

From the pFale and downtrAmodden

And the wGords they sCay which we woFn’t understand

AmDon’t accept that what’s hFappeniCng

AmIs just a case of others’ suCfferiFng

COr you’ll find that you’re jFoining iAmn

The tGurning awCay

Guitar enters

IAmt’s a sGin that somehCow

Light is chaFnging to sAmhadow

And cGasting its shrCoud over aFll we have known

AmUnaware how the Franks have Cgrown

AmDriven on by a Cheart of Fstone

CWe could find that we’re Fall Amalone

In the Gdream of the Cproud

Drums enter on “night”

AmOn the Gwings of the Cnight

As the Fdaytime is Amstirring

Where the Gspeechless uniCte in a Fsilent accord

AmUsing words you will fFind are stCrange

MeAmsmerized as they Clight the Fflame

CFeel the new wind of Fchange

AmOn the wGings of the Cnight

C→ G/B→

Solo, I’m not really going to try to capture the timing here

AmG→ F

Am→ G→ Dm

FG→ Dm

FG→ Am

Let the i ring out for a long time here, some bass noodling

Am

CNo more Gturning Caway

From the Fweak and the Amweary

AmNo more Gturning Caway from the Fcoldness inside

AmJust a world that we aFll must sChare

It’s nAmot enough just to sCtand and Fstare

CIs it only a dFream that there’ll Ambe no more Gturning Caway

C

Solo, again not really trying very hard here with the timing
