Version 1 Version 2Slow Turning - John Hiatt Now here’s a final version of this very nice song by John Hiatt, in the original key. VERSE 1 C F Bb F C F Bb F When I was a boy………. I thought it just came to ya But I never could tell what's mine, so it didn't matter anyway My only pride and joy was this record down here Banging on an old guitar, singin' what I had to say. G I always thought our house was haunted Dm F C 'Cause nobody said 'boo' to me G I never did get what I wanted Dm F But now I get what I need CHORUS: C F Bb F C F Bb F It's been a slow turning … ……from the inside out A slow turning baby but you come about A slow learning but you learn to sweat, a hey, hey, hey A slow turning baby not fade away, not fade away, not fade away VERSE 2 C F Bb F C F Bb F Now I'm in my car,……… ooh I've got the radio down Now me yellin' at the kids in the back, cause they're banging like Charlie Watts You think you come so far in this one horse town Then she's laughing that crazy laugh, cause you haven't left the parking lot G Time is short, and here's the damned thing about it Dm F C You're gonna die, gonna die for sure G You can learn to live with love or without it Dm F But there ain't no cure CHORUS C F Bb F C F Bb F There's just a slow turning……….. from the inside out A slow turning but you come about A slow learning you learn to sweat, a hey, hey, hey A slow turning baby not fade away, not fade away, not fade away, not fade away, not away Any suggestions to (or to my friend Patrick Nys, the greatest fan John Hiatt on the Western continent)
