Chords for Garnet Rogers - NEXT TURN OF THE WHEEL - SlideshowVideo

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ It could break your heart to watch the sun _ _ _ [D] Strike gold [G] along this shore
_ _ For the little boats still bump and spin As _ they did [D] long years before
_ _ The harbor lights burned [G] dim tonight _ _ _ They've closed these boats all down
_ And the men all stand in silence On _ the corners [A] of the [D] town
And _ they stand in smoke by empty [G] stores And they watch the cars roll by
_ _ And they stare into the distance With _ [A] hard and [D] angry eyes
_ _ So it's farewell [G] to the harbor Oh, _ [C] it's farewell [G] to the fields _ _
Farewell to deep salt water _ _ _
[Em] [D] Swells beneath your keel _ _
What's gone is lost [G] forever I _ _ pray someday we're healed _ _
That we'll meet [D] again some [G] brighter day _ _
[Em] [Am] Next turn [D] of the week _ _ _
_ [E] _ [G] _ _ _
The houses here look much the same _ _ [C] Well, perhaps [G] a bit more worn
And [C] the [G] shingles gleam like silver As _ [Am] they did when [D] we were born _
[C] And the [G] scent of pine and moss and vine Yes, [C] there rose [G] and believed to _
[C] Still [G] spice the warm and fragrant air As _ [Am] they did back [D] in our youth _
[C] So it's [D] farewell [G] to the harbor Oh, _ [C] it's farewell [G] to the fields _
[C] [G] Farewell to deep salt water Swells [Am] beneath [D] your keel _
[C] What's [G] gone is lost forever I _ [C] pray [G] someday we're healed _
[C] That we'll [G] meet again some brighter day _ _ [Am] Next turn [D] of the week _ _
[A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
I dipped my hand into the sea I _
_ [C] [G] raised it to my mouth _ _
Sudden warm breeze stirred the air _ _ [Am] It blew up [D] from the south _
And the [G] air was sweet with blossoms And [C] the sea [G] was salt with tears
And the sun danced on the water I [Em] was [Am] swept back [D] through the years _
_ [A] _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _

[Em] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I climbed the hill and I paused [G] for breath _ _ [D] Yes, and one last [G] backward glance
_ _ Down by the green emerald hill [G] Where the fragile [D] cornflowers dance
_ _ And I stood once more and I [G] crossed the ridge _ [D] Of that dear and familiar hill
_ And the beating of the [G] waves was lost Like _ _ _ [Em] a heart [D] forever still _
So [G] it's farewell to the harbor _ _
_ [D] [G] Farewell to the fields Farewell to deep salt water _ _
_ [Em] [D] Swells beneath your keel _ [G] What's gone is lost forever
I _ [C] [G] pray someday we're healed _ We'll meet again some brighter day _
[Am] Next [D] turn of the week _ _
