Turning of the Tide, Richard Thompson transcribed by [email protected]
F How many boys, one night stands C How many lips, how many hands have held you BbC Like I'm holding you tonight
F Too many nights staying up late Too much powder, too much paint CBbC Oh you can't hide from the Turning of the Tide
DmFBb Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress DmFBbC Did they find some tender moment there in your caress?
F Boys all say you look so fine Don't come back for a second time CBbC You can't hide from the Turning of the Tide
Poor little sailor boy, never set eyes on a woman before Did he tell you that he'd love you, darling, for ever more?
Pretty little shoes, cheap perfume Creaking bed in the hotel room You can't hide from the Turning of the Tide
Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress Did they find some tender moment there in your caress?
Boys all say you look so fine Don't come back for a second time You can't hide from the Turning of the Tide
