Lyrics

(C)Who can I turn to

when (Dm7)no bod y (G7)needs me?

My (C)heart wants to know and so I must go where (Gm7)des ti ny leads me.

With (F)no star to guide me

and (Em7)no one be (Cmaj7)side me,

I’ll (Dm6)go on my way and (A7)af ter the day the (Dm)dark ness will hide me.

And (C)may be to mor row

I’ll (Dm7)find what I’m (G7)af ter,

I’ll (C)throw off my sor row, beg, steal, or bor row (Gm)my share of laugh ter.

With (F)you I could (F)learn to,

with (Am)you on a new day,

but (C)who can I turn to if (Dm7)you

(Db7)turn a (C)way?

(C)Who can I turn to

when (Dm7)no bod y (G7)needs me?

My (C)heart wants to know and so I must go where (Gm7)des ti ny leads me.

With (F)no star to guide me

and (Em7)no one be (Cmaj7)side me,

I’ll (Dm6)go on my way and (A7)af ter the day the (Dm)dark ness will hide me.

And (C)may be to mor row

I’ll (Dm7)find what I’m (G7)af ter,

I’ll (C)throw off my sor row, beg, steal, or bor row (Gm)my share of laugh ter.

With (F)you I could (F)learn to,

with (Am)you on a new day,

but (C)who can I turn to if (Dm7)you

(Db7)turn a (C)way?

(C)way?
