Spin and Turn

 

See also: Fare Thee Well, Cisco - Chords


Capo 2nd fret G C G Deep in the night, a baby takes his first deep breath and cries. C G A D His momma's tired and happy; daddy's head is in the skies. G C G The fiddler rosins up her bow and the guitar tunes a string, C G D7/F# G The circle dancers part to let another join the ring. G D7/F# G Spin and turn, life goes on and on. Circles around the sun till the final dance is done. D7/F# G Spin and turn, we've been here and gone.

Early in life the young man finds a woman who is wise;
He takes her in his arms and finds tomorrow in her eyes.
They dance around the circle till the two of them are one;
They do the dance of life until a new life has begun.

Spin and turn, life goes on and on.
Circles around the sun till the final dance is done.
Spin and turn, we've been here and gone.


C G Old men telling children of the world when they were young. C G Children telling old men of their dreams. C Mother, daughters, fathers, sons, G D Around and around, the circle runs in streams.

Till deep in the night an old man takes his final steps and sighs.
Across the lake the music echoes to the midnight skies.
While, deep within, the ancient song is rising in his breast.
For him, the hour is late and now it's time he took his rest.

Spin and turn, life goes on and on.
Circles around the sun till the final dance is done.
Spin and turn, we've been here and gone.

And deep in the night a baby takes her first breath and cries.
Her momma's tired and happy; daddy's head is in the skies.
Spin and turn, life goes on and on.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1996)
