  G               G/C  G/B |G        G/B  G/C|
  River's getting higher
  G               G/C  G/B |G        G/B  G/C|
  No wood for the fire
  G               G/C  G/B |G  
  They saw the messiah
  G     G/C G/B|D                |C
  But I guess I missed him again
                           |G          G G6 G |G            |
  That brings my score to a hundred and ten

  [notated for Guitar 2]
     |G               C9/G G |G        C9/G G
  The water's getting closer
        |G           C9/G G  |G        C9/G G
  Better ring up the grocer
       |G         C9/G G  |G 
  Stack up the potatoes
        C9/G G         |D             |C
  Oh, Jack are you ever coming back?
                    |G    C9/G G     |G       |
  Will your operatic soul turn black?
  
  [chorus]
  D         |                    |
  Keep me turning, oh, keep me on

  Keep me burning, for your sun

    Keep me turning, Don't you leave me till the very last
  
  D         |                     |
  Keep me turning, I'm hagning on
  C          |                     |
  Stop me yearning, I've had enough

  D           |                       |C   C/B  |G     G/C|G      |
    Keep me turning while I hand in my backstage pass
  
  Children are smiling
  Parents are wining
  Bow-tie tying
  For the big day ahead real soon
  Is there really gonna be no room?
  
  I got a ticket
  Just gotta past the picket
  They say that the trick is to walk in backwards
  Like your walking out
  I guess the lord's wearing glasses now
  
  Keep me turning, Oh, keep me on
  Keep me burning, For your sun
  Keep me turning, Don't you leave me till the very last
  
  Keep me turning, I'm hagning on
  Stop me yearning, I've had enough
  Keep me turning while I hand in my backstage pass
