Urge For Going, Joni Mitchell

I [A] awoke today and [G]found the frost perched upon the [A]town
It [A] hovered in a [G]frozen sky, then it gobbled summer [A]down
And [D] When the sun turns [C]traitor cold
And [D] all the trees are [C]shivering in a naked [E]row
I [A] get the urge for [G]going but I never seem to [A]go
I [G] get the [D]urge for [A]going…

When the [G]meadow [D]grass is [A]turning brown

[G]Summertime[D] is [A]falling down and [A]winter’s [G]closing [A]in

I [A]had a girl in [G]summertime, With [G]summer-colored [A]skin
And [A]not another [G]man in town, My darling’s heart could [A]win
But [D]when the leaves fell [C]on the ground
And [D]bully winds came & [C]pushed them face down in the [E]snow
She [A]got the urge for [G]going and I had to let her [A]go
She [G]got the [D]urge for [A]going…​​[CHORUS]

Now the [A]warriors of [G]winter they gave a cold triumphant [A]shout
And [A]all that stays is [G]dying and all that lives is getting [A]out
[D]See the geese in [C]chevron flight [D]flappin & racin [C]on before the [E]snow
They’ve [A]got the urge for [G]going & they’ve got the wings to [A]go
They [G]get the [D]urge for [A]going…​​[CHORUS]

I’ll [A]ply the fire with [G]kindling and pull the blankets to my [A]chin
I’ll [A]lock the vagrant winter [G]out and bolt my wandering [A]in
I’d [D]like to call back [C]summertime & [D]have her stay for [C]just another month or [E]so
But she’s [A]got the urge for [G]going so I guess she’ll have to [A]go
She [G]gets the [D]urge for [A]going when the [G]meadow [D]grass is [A]turning brown
And [G]all her [D]empires are [A]falling down, And [A]winter’s [G]closing [A]in
And I [G]get the [D]urge for [A]going when the [G]meadow [D]grass is [A]turning brown And [G]summertime[D] is [A]falling down…
