Slow 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
