TURN THE PAGE (METALLICA)

Note: Original key is half tone lower

INTRO:   Em – –

          Em

On a long and lonesome highway

East of Omaha

                D

You can listen to the engine

Moanin' out his one long song

                  A

You can think about the woman

                                                             Em –

Or the girl you knew the night before

                     Em

But your thoughts will soon be

Wanderin', the way they always do

                         D

When you're ridin' sixteen hours

And there's nothin' much to do

                   A

And you don't feel much like ridin'

                                                            Em –

You just wish the trip was through

              D                 Em

Here I am, on the road again

               D            Em

There I am, up on the stage

             D                   A

Here I go, playin' star again

               C   D                 Em –

There I go -- turn the page

              Em

So you walk into this restaurant

A-strung out from the road

                  D

And you feel the eyes upon you

As you're shakin' off the cold

                A

You pretend it doesn't bother you

                                                  Em –

But you just want to explode

                       Em

Yeah, most times you can't hear them

Talk, other times you can

                D

All the same old clichés:

"Is it woman, is it man?"

                 A

And you always seem outnumbered

                                                       Em –

So you don't dare make a stand

Make your stand--ah

              D                 Em

Here I am, on the road again

               D            Em

There I am, up on the stage

             D                   A

Here I go, playin' star again

               C   D                Em –

There I go -- turn the page… yah

              Em

Ho-ho, out there in the spotlight

You're a million miles away

               D

Every ounce of energy
You try to give away

                A

As the sweat pours out your body

                                                  Em –

Like the music that you play

Em [Bass only]

Later in the evenin'
As you lie awake in bed

                 D [Bass only]

With the echoes of the amplifiers

Ringin' in your head

             A [Bass only]

You smoke the day's last cigarette
Rememberin' what she said

Em [Bass only]

       (what she said)

SOLO: 
    D  Em  D  Em  D  Em  C  D  Em  (2x)

                        D                 Em

Yeah, here I am, on the road again

               D            Em

There I am, up on the stage

             D                   A

Here I go, playin' star again

               C   D                 Em –

There I go -- turn the page

               C   D                  Em

There I go -- turn that page

               C                D

There I go, yeah yeah

              Em                 [Riff:  D – Em –]

There I go, yeah yeah

               D            Em              D          Em

There I go, yeah…    there I go, yeah

               C    D              Em

There I go…    there I go
