Lindisfarne - Turn a deaf ear

The ^Gstage director ^Fstood up and he ^Ccalled the actors down He ^Gasked them all to ^Fsay three words, 'Up', 'Down' and 'A^Cround' So, '^GUp', 'Down' and 'A^Fround' they cried with ^Cone according voice And ^Gup, down and a^Fround they went, for it was their only ^Cchoice

I can only ^Dmturn again, ^Gto the ^Cfront again Only to ^Dmturn again, ^Gto the ^Crear Turn again, ^Dmturn again, ^Gturn, turn, ^Cturn, again I can ^Flisten, but ^GI can't ^Chear

My ^Gfriend's girl, she has a ^Fwireless aerial ^Csticking out of her head And a ^Gpile of true ro^Fmances lying underneath the ^Cbed And a ^Ggiant poster of ^FRabby Noakes ^Cjust beside the door But I ^Gknow she'll get along ^Ffine without him if it doesn't see her any^Cmore

I can only ^Dmturn again, ^Gto the ^Cfront again Only to ^Dmturn again, ^Gto the ^Crear Turn again, ^Dmturn again, ^Gturn, turn, ^Cturn, again I can ^Flisten, but ^GI can't ^Chear

The ^Gstrings were cut from the ^Fguitar puppet ^Csinger on the stage And his ^Gmusic became ^Ffurious and he stamped his foot in ^Crage The ^Ggirls all screamed in ^Fagony, the ^Cboys they gaped in fear And the ^Gsong was called 'Have ^FMercy Baby, Have ^CMercy On My Ear'

I can only ^Dmturn again, ^Gto the ^Cfront again Only to ^Dmturn again, ^Gto the ^Crear Turn again, ^Dmturn again, ^Gturn, turn, ^Cturn, again I can ^Flisten, but ^GI can't ^Chear

I re^Gmember what the ^Fold man said on his ^Clittle wooden stand As he ^Gspoke very ^Fquietly with a waving of his ^Chand "^GEvery pigeon to ^Fits own hole", but ^Cwhat he seemed to say I ^Gknow I should go ^Flooking for, a better place to ^Cstay

I can only ^Dmturn again, ^Gto the ^Cfront again Only to ^Dmturn again, ^Gto the ^Crear Turn again, ^Dmturn again, ^Gturn, turn, ^Cturn, again I can ^Flisten, but ^GI can't ^Chear Turn again, ^Dmturn again, ^Gturn, turn, ^Cturn, again I can ^Flisten, but ^DmI___^G__ can't ^Chear^{G Bb A Ab G C}
