TURN AROUND (Malvina Reynolds, Harry Belafonte, & Allen Greene)
---------------------------------------------------------------

[I'm not sure about the capo on this song; it might be in a weird tuning.]
[the _notes_ in the G arpeggio are G-D-A-B-A-G.]

C   Bm   D7   G   G
[intro]

G             Bm        C           D7
Where are you going, my little one, little one
Em            Bm        C        D7
Where are you going, my baby, my own?
      G                G    C                      Cm
Turn around and you're two, turn around and you're four
      G                  Am               D7        G     G
Turn around and you're a young girl going out of my door

G            G     C           C
Turn around,       turn around
       Bm                Am               D7        G    G
Turn around and you're a young girl going out of my door

Where are you going, my little one, little one
Little dirndls and petticoats, where have you gone?
Turn around and you're tiny, turn around and you're grown
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own

Turn around, turn around
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own

[instrumental, same chords as verse]

Turn around, turn around
Turn around and you're the young girl going out of the door

G             Bm        C           D7
Where are you going, my little one, little one
Em            Bm        C  G/B  D/A  G    G       C  Bm  D7  G.
Where are you going, my ba-by,  my   own?
