[Verse 1]
C           F
Down by the seaside
C                F
See the boats go sailing
C              F
Can the people hear
C                        F
What the little fish are saying
[Hook]
C      F  C   F
Oh oooh   Ooh oooh
F                 C
The people turned away
F                 C
The people turned away
[Verse 2]
C           F
Down in the city streets
C                   F
See all the folk go racing, racing
C           F
No time left
C                 F
To pass the time of day
[Hook]
C      F  C   F
Oh oooh   Ooh oooh
F                 C
The people turned away
F                 Am
The people turned away
So far away, so far away
[Verse 3]
Am
See how they run, see how they run
See how they run, see how they run
       Am
Do you still do the twist
                                     D
Do you find you remember things that well
I wanna tell you
        Am
Some go twisting every day
                                    D    F  G F C
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
   F     G    F      C
Ah ha Woh oh Woh oh
[Verse 4]
C          F
Out in the country
C               F
Hear the people singing
 C                  F
Singing about their growin'
 C                    F
Knowing where they're goin'
[Hook]
C   F       F             C
Oh, oh, the people turned away
        F             C
Oh, the people turned away
[Outro]
 C                F
Sing loud for the sunshine
 C                F
Pray hard for the rain
    C                  F
And show your love for Lady Nature
    C                  F
And she will come back again
[Hook]
    F             C
The people turned away
    F             C
The people turned away
