Intro: C 

verse 1: 
    G              F               C 
The stage director stood up and he called the actors down 
   G                 F                                   C 
He asked them all to say three words, 'Up', 'Down' and 'Around' 
     G                 F                      C 
So, 'Up', 'Down' and 'Around' they cried with one according voice 
    G             F                                      C 
And up, down and around they went, for it was their only choice 

           Dm          G      C 
I can only turn again, to the front again 
        Dm          G      C 
Only to turn again, to the rear 
            Dm          G           C 
Turn again, turn again, turn, turn, turn, again 
      F           G       C 
I can listen, but I can't hear 


verse 2: 
   G                        F               C 
My friend's girl, she has a wireless aerial sticking out of her head 
      G              F                           C 
And a pile of true romances lying underneath the bed 
      G               F            C 
And a giant poster of Rabby Noakes just beside the door 
      G                     F                                         C 
But I know she'll get along fine without him if it doesn't see her anymore 

           Dm          G      C 
I can only turn again, to the front again 
        Dm          G      C 
Only to turn again, to the rear 
            Dm          G           C 
Turn again, turn again, turn, turn, turn, again 
      F           G       C 
I can listen, but I can't hear 


verse 3: 
    G                         F             C 
The strings were cut from the guitar puppet singer on the stage 
        G            F                                  C 
And his music became furious and he stamped his foot in rage 
    G                     F          C 
The girls all screamed in agony, the boys they gaped in fear 
        G                     F                C 
And the song was called 'Have Mercy Baby, Have Mercy On My Ear' 

           Dm          G      C 
I can only turn again, to the front again 
        Dm          G      C 
Only to turn again, to the rear 
            Dm          G           C 
Turn again, turn again, turn, turn, turn, again 
      F           G       C 
I can listen, but I can't hear 


verse 4: 
    G               F                   C 
I remember what the old man said on his little wooden stand 
      G          F                            C 
As he spoke very quietly with a waving of his hand 
 G               F                  C 
"Every pigeon to its own hole", but what he seemed to say 
  G                F                              C 
I know I should go looking for, a better place to stay 

           Dm          G      C 
I can only turn again, to the front again 
        Dm          G      C 
Only to turn again, to the rear 
            Dm          G           C 
Turn again, turn again, turn, turn, turn, again 
      F           G       C 
I can listen, but I can't hear 
            Dm          G           C 
Turn again, turn again, turn, turn, turn, again 
      F           Dm  G        C   G Bb A Ab G C 
I can listen, but I_____ can't hear
