Urge for Going Chords by Joni Mitchell

_ _ I [Gm] awoke today and found the frost perched [C] on the town
[G] It hovered [C] in a frozen sky
Then it gobbled summer down
[F] When the sun [Eb] turns traitor [F] cold
And all the [Eb] trees are shivering [G] in a naked row
[C] I get the [Bb] urge for going
But I never [G] seem to [C] go
I _ [Bb] get the [G] urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is falling down
And winter's closing in
[C] _ _ I had me a [Gm] man in summertime
He [C] had summer-colored skin
[Gm] And not [C] another girl in [Gm] town
My darling's [C] heart could win
[F] But when the [Eb] leaves fell on the [F] ground
And blue winds [Eb] came around
Pushed them [Gm] face [G] down
In the snow [C] he got [Bb] the urge for going
And I had to [G] let him [C] go
_ [Bb] He got the [G] urge for going
When the meadow grass was [Bb] turning brown
And summertime [G] was falling down
And winter [Gm] was [G] closing in
[C] _ Now the [Gm] warriors of winter
They give a cold [C] triumphant shout
[Gm] And all that [C] stays is dying
[Gm] All that lives is [C] getting out
[F] See the [Eb] geese in chevron [F] flight
Flopping [Eb] and erasing on [G] before the snow
[C] They got the [Bb] urge for going
And they got the [G] wings so they can [C] go
_ [Bb] [F] They get the urge [G] for going
When the meadow grass is turning [F] brown
And summertime [G] is falling down
And winter's closing [C] in
_ _ [Fm] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ I'll ply the fire with kindling now
I'll [Gm] pull the blankets up to [C] my chin
[G] I'll lock [C] the vagrant winter out
[Gm] And I'll hold [C] my wandering [F] in
I'd like to [Eb] call back summertime
[F] And have [Eb] her stay for just another [G] month or so
But [C] she's got [Bb] the urge for going
So I guess she'll have [G] to go
[C] _ _
She gets [G] the urge for [Bb] going
When the meadow [G] grass is turning brown
And all her empire's falling down
And winter's closing _ [C] in
[Bb] And I get the [G] urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is _ falling [C] _ down _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
