[Intro]
Em7 C G Em7 C G
[Verse 1]
Em7 C G
Yeah, what you know about a one-light, cattle town?
Em7 C C G
Instead of pavin' the roads, they just throw gravel down
Em7 C
It's where we turn coffee-can cash into gas and beer
G
The middle of nowhere to "Glad you're here"
Em7 C
The fast lane into slow-down (Slow-down)
G
It's where you live and you learn how
[Chorus]
Em7 C
To turn grass into dirt, turn seeds into rows
G
Prayers into rain, turn tires off a road
Em7 C
Dust into clouds when the sun turns red
G
Turn a hand-me-down Chevy to a creekside bed
Em7 C
Headlights burnin', radio's workin'
G D
Her sweet smile's gettin' some ol' boy turnin'
Em7 C
That midnight kiss into those three words
G Em7 C G
A girl like her, will make your whole world turn
[Verse 2]
Em7 C G
Thе way she turns 501s into long, tan legs (Huh)
Em7 C G
She can turn a bad day around likе she turns those heads, yeah
Em7 C
She can turn one little look into turnin' me on
G
Five more minutes into all night long
Em7 C
I'm holdin' onto heaven down here
G
On a tailgate date way out where
[Chorus]
Em7 C
We turn grass into dirt, turn seeds into rows
G
Prayers into rain, turn tires off a road
Em7 C
Dust into clouds when the sun turns red
G
Turn a hand-me-down Chevy to a creekside bed
Em7 C
Headlights burnin', radio's workin'
G D
Her sweet smile's gettin' some ol' boy turnin'
Em7 C
That midnight kiss into those three words
G Em7
A girl like her, will make your whole world turn
[Guitar Solo]
C G Em7 C G
[Bridge]
Em C G Em
Ooh, all it takes is just one look in those brown eyes
C G
Ooh, to get a taste of the good life
Em C
And turn a rock from the ground to a ring on her hand
G
A house to a home on a little piece of land
[Chorus]
Em7 C
Where we turn grass grass into dirt, turn seeds into rows (Seeds into rows)
G
Prayers into rain, turn tires off a road
Em7 C
Dust into clouds when the sun turns red
G
Turn a hand-me-down Chevy to a creekside bed (Creekside bed)
Em7 C
Headlights burnin', radio's workin'
G D
Her sweet smile's gettin' some ol' boy turnin'
Em7 C
That midnight kiss into those three words (Those three words)
G Em7 C G
A girl like her, will make your whole world turn
[Outro]
Em C G
A girl like her
Em C G
Will make your whole world turn, yeah (Yes, she will)
Em C
Will make your whole world turn
G
Yeah
How to play "Turn" on guitar by Tyler Hubbard
Guitar Tutorial:
[Intro]
Start with the chord progression that sets the tone for the song:
Em7 C G
Chords used are:
Em7: 022033
C major: x32010
G major: 320003
Repeat this progression twice to establish the intro's mood. Strum each chord
gently, focusing on a smooth transition between them.
[Verse 1]
The verse continues with the same chords, emphasizing the storytelling:
Em7 C G
"Yeah, what you know about a one-light, cattle town?"
In the verse, maintain a flowing rhythm, playing each chord clearly to support
the narrative lyrics. Pay special attention to lyrical phrasing to enhance
the storytelling.
[Chorus]
The chorus introduces a rich lyrical narrative with the same chord progression:
Em7 C
"To turn grass into dirt, turn seeds into rows"
G
"Prayers into rain, turn tires off a road"
Increase the intensity slightly in the chorus to match the emotional lift.
Strum more forcefully here to bring out the dynamics of the song.
[Bridge]
The bridge introduces a slight change in progression and mood:
Em C G
Here, focus on emotive playing, perhaps by softening your strumming to
match the reflective lyrics:
Em C
"Ooh, all it takes is just one look in those brown eyes"
G
"Ooh, to get a taste of the good life"
[Guitar Solo]
The guitar solo follows the standard chord progression:
C G Em7 C G
During the solo, let the chords ring out more to give space for the lead guitar
(if played). This part is about creating atmosphere.
General Tips:
- Consistently check tuning as the song uses open chords that should sound clean.
- Practice the transitions between the chords, ensuring they are smooth and
seamless.
- Listen to the original track to get a feel for the strumming pattern and
the overall dynamics of the song.
Common Mistakes:
- Overstrumming in the verses which can overpower the vocals.
- Not varying strumming dynamics between different sections of the song.
Lyrics Meaning:
"Turn" explores themes of transformation and significant life changes,
symbolized through vivid imagery of rural life and personal relationships.
The song reflects on how small moments and decisions can dramatically
reshape our lives and identities.
