Urge for Going

Joni Mitchell/ Crosby and Nash

Tony Rice

D C D

I awoke today and found frost had perched on the town

D C D

Harbored in a frozen sky and all the summer down

G F

And when the wind turned trade and cold

G F E

And all the trees are shivering in a naked row

D C D

I get the urge for going but I never seem to go

C G D

And I get the urge for going

C G D

When the meadow grass is turning brown

C G D

And the summertime is falling down

C G D

And the winter's closing in

I had a girl in summertime with summer colored skin

And not another man in ten my darling's heart could win

When the leaves fell tremblin' down

(Bullies wished (?)) to rub their faces in the snow

She got the urge for goin', I had to let her go ...CHORUS

Now the warriors of winter give a cold triumphant shout

All that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out

See the geese in chevron flight

Laughing and a-racing off before the snow

They got the urge for going and they've got the wings to go ...CHORUS TWICE
