URGE FOR GOING- Joni Mitchell/ Crosby and Nash

D C D
I awoke today and found frost had perched on the town
D C D
Harbored in a frozen sky and all the summer down
G F
And when the wind turned trade and cold
G F E
And all the trees are shivering in a naked row
D C D
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go

CHORUS:
C G D
And I get the urge for going
C G D
When the meadow grass is turning brown
C G D
And the summertime is falling down
C G D
And the winter`s closing in

I had a girl in summertime with summer colored skin
And not another man in ten my darling`s heart could win
When the leaves fell tremblin` down
(Bullies wished (?)) to rub their faces in the snow
She got the urge for goin`, I had to let her go ...CHORUS

Now the warriors of winter give a cold triumphant shout
All that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight
Laughing and a-racing off before the snow
They got the urge for going and they`ve got the wings to go ...CHORUS TWICE


NOTE: I don`t have a copy of the Joni Mitchell version since its so rare-
I only know the Crosby-Nash version. Perhaps someone with the Michell
version might be able to pick out some of the words that I couldnt quite
catch.
(according the the CSN box set liner notes, the song was written by J.M.
in the mid sixties but not released by her until 1972 as the b-side of
You Turn Me On, I`m a Radio. The Crosby-Nash version was done in 1971 but
not released until the CSN box set came out a few years ago)
