Urge for going  Crosby Stills Nash

##song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. ###and Nash.##


I [D]awoke tod[C]ay and found frost had perched on the t[D]own


H[D]arbored in a fr[C]ozen sky and all the summer do[D]wn


[G]And when the wind turned tr[F]ade and cold


A[G]nd all the trees are shiv[F]ering in a na[E]ked row


I[D] get the urge for g[C]oing but I never seem to[D] go


CHORUS:


And I g[C]et the u[G]rge for go[D]ing


When the mea[C]dow gra[G]ss is tur[D]ning brown


And the sum[C]merti[G]me is fal[D]ling down


And the wi[C]nter's cl[G]osing [D]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)
