The Moody Blues
"The Voice"
written by Justin Hayward

It sounds the best with a capo on the 1st fret

Verse 1:

 Em                G                 C 
Won't you take me back to school? I need to learn the golden rule. 

 Em              G                C
Won't you lay it on the line?  I need to hear it just one more time. 

G             Am                  
Oh, won't you tell me again? 

G            Dm7 
Oh, can you feel it? 

G              Am             Em
Oh, Won't you tell me again tonight? 


Verse 2:

Em               G                 C
Each and every heart it seems is bounded by a world of dreams. 

Em               G              C              
Each and every rising sun is greeted by a lonely one. 

G             Am
Oh won't you tell me again? 

G            Dm7
Oh, can you feel it? 

G             Am             Em       C
Oh won't you tell me again tonight? 


Bridge 1:

      D          Am7      D
'Cos out on the ocean of life my love 

        Bm7       E7            Am         G
There's so many storms we must rise above? 

         F
Can you hear the spirit calling 

          A7
As it's carried across the waves? 

         Dm       C            G          F 
You're already falling, it's calling you back to face the music 

         A7
And the song that is coming through, 

         Dm       C         Bb              Am7       D 
You're already falling, the one that it's calling is you. 


Verse 3:

Em               G                C 
Make a promise, take a vow  and trust your feelings, it's easy now. 

Em               G                C
Understand the voice within and feel the changes already beginning. 

G              Am
Oh, won't you tell me again? 

G            Dm7
Oh, can you feel it? 

G              Am             Em        C
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight?

Oh, won't you tell me again tonight?.........tonight?


Bridge 2:

     D        Am7          D 
And how many words have I got to say 

    Bm7       E7           Am       G 
And how many times will it be this way 

           F
With your arms around the future 

          A7 
And your back up against the past? 

         Dm       C             G         F
You're already falling, it's calling you on to face the music 

         A7 
And the song that is coming through, 

         Dm       C         Bb              Am7       D 
You're already falling, the one that it's calling is you.
