Pink Floyd
On The Turning Away
A Momentary Lapse Of Reason (1987)

G (fade in)

G
On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away" 

                G(maj7)
It's a sin that somehow
         C           Em
Light is changing to shadow
    D            G           C
And casting it's shroud over all we have known

  Em(7)           C          G
  Unaware how the ranks have grown
  Em(7)          G        C
  Driven on by a heart of stone
  G                        C
  We could find that we're all alone
  Em     D            G
  In the dream of the proud 

Em     D            G(maj7) (embarque)
On the wings of the night
       C          Em
As the daytime is stirring
          D          G          C
Where the speechless unite in a silent accord

  Using words you will find are strange
  And mesmerised as they light the flame
  Feel the new wind of change
  On the wings of the night 

G  f♯ E5  D5 Cadd9  C5 D5 E5  D5 A5  b C5  D5 A5  b C5  D5 E5 (reste)  w/ solo

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away from the coldness inside

  Just a world that we all must share
  It's not enough just to stand and stare
  Is it only a dream that there'll be
  No more turning away?
