urge for going chords
joni mitchell

capo iii

Dm A# A 2

xa Em G
i awoke today and found
Em A
the frost perched on the town
Em A
it hovered in a frozen sky
G A
then it gobbled summer down
D C
when the sun turns traitor cold
D C E E7
and all the trees are shivering in a naked row

A G
i get the urge for going
A Asus2 A
but i never seem to go
G D A
i get the urge for going
G D A
when the meadow grass is turning brown
G D A Em A
summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

A Em G
i had me a man in summertime
Em A
he had summer – colored skin
Em A
and not another girl in town
Em A
my darling’s heart could win
D C
but when the leaves fell on the ground
D C
bully winds came around and
E E7
pushed them face down in the snow

A G
he got the urge for going
A Asus2 A
but i never seem to go
G D A
i get the urge for going
G D A
when the meadow grass was turning brown
G D A Em A
summertime is falling down and winter was closing in

A Em G
now the warriors of win ter
Em A
they gave a cold triumphant shout
Em A
and all that stays is dying
Em A
and all that lives is gettin’ out
D C
see the geese in chevron flight
D C E E7
flapping and racing on before the snow

A G
they got the urge for going
A Asus2 A
and they got the wind so they go
G D A
they get the urge for going
G D A
when the meadow grass is turning brown
G D A Em A
summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

Dm A# A

A Em G
i’ll ply the fire with kindling now
Em A
i’ll pull the blankets up to my chin
Em A
i’ll lock the vagrant winter out and
G A
i’ll bolt my wanderings in
D C
i’d like to call back summertime
D C E E7
have her stay for just another month or so

A G
but shes got the urge for going
A Asus2 A
so i guess shell have to go
G D A
she gets the urge for going
G D A
when the meadow grass is turning brown
G E A
and all her empire is closing down
G D A Em A
summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

A G
and i get the urge for going
G D A
when the meadow grass is turning brown
G D A
and summertime is falling down .

Dm A# A 2
