Turn to Stone Lyrics
by Joe Walsh
Intro and Solo
Dm > C > B? --- Dm > C > B?
^Slide down from C to B? here
Hey now, the well run dry
Pages of your book on fire
D (Riff 1)
Read the writing
D (Riff 2)
On the wall
Hoe down, it's a show-down
Ev'rywhere you look,
D (Riff 1)
we're fighting
D (Riff 2)
Hear the call
horus
And you know it's gettin' stronger
I can't last very much longer
Dm > C* > Dm
Turn to stone
- (Intro chord progression)
Well there's a change in the wind
You know the signs don't lie
Such a strange feelin'
D (Riff 1)
And I don't know why it's takin'
D (Riff 2)
Such a long time
Backyard people
And they work all day
Tired of the speeches and the way
D (Riff 1)
That the reasons keep changin'
D (Riff 2)
Just to make the words rhyme
horus
And you know it's gettin' stronger
Can't make 'em run much longer
Dm > C* > Dm
Turn to stone
(Verse chord progression)
horus
And you know it's gettin' stronger
Can't make 'em run much longer
Dm > C* > Dm > Dm > C > Dm
Turn to stone
Outro Solo - (Intro chord progression repeated)
Riff 1
Riff 2
