Tom Rush Urge For Going written by Joni Mitchelll
B A B
And I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
B A B
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
E D
When the sun turns traitor cold
E D F#
And shivering trees are standing in a naked row
B A B
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
A E B A E B
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
A E B A B
Summertime is falling down winter's closing in
B A B
I had a girl in summertime with summer colored skin
B A B
And not another man in town my darling's heart could win
E D
But when the leaves fell trembling down
E D F#
And bully winds did rub their face down in the snow
B A B
She got the urge for going I had to let her go
A E B A E B
She got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
A E B A B
And summertime was falling down and winters closing in
B A B
Now the warriors of winter they give a cold triumphant shout
B A B
All that stays is dying all that lives is getting out
E D
See the geese in chevron flight
E D F#
Flapping and a-racin on before the snow
B A B
Got the urge for going they've got the wings to go
B A E B A E B
And they get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
A E B A B
Summertime is falling down and winter's closing in
B A B
I'll ply the fire with kindling, I'll pull the blankets to my chin
B A B
I'll lock the vagrant winter out I'll bolt my wandering in
E D
I'd like to call back summertime
E D F#
And have her stay for just another month or so
B A B
But she's got the urge for going I guess she'll have to go
B A E B A E B
And she's gets the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning
brown
A E B A B
All her empire's are falling down winter's closing in
A E B A E B
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
A E B A B A B A B
And summertime is falling down
