working copy (i.e. I'm working on it. i need to put the chords over the words) "A Page Is Turned" by Bebo Norman (as performed by Trevor Stilwell) From the album "The Fabric Of Verse" Words and music by Bebo Norman Copyright 1996 Bebo Norman This is my arrangement for Phil and Shannon Swope's wedding, January 2, 1998. The lyrics are slightly modified, and I replaced Bebo's intro lick with the intro lick from Paul Stookey's "The Wedding Song" (transposed to A from its original key of E). I also inserted the bridge from the same song between Bebo's bridge and the final verse. Play in A, no capo, on a standard-tuned six-string acoustic. (This is in the same key as Bebo's original, though I actually tuned my guitar a full tone down for the wedding.)

Arranged by tstilwel@comp.uark.edu - transcribed 7/1/1998 More songs available at http://engr.uark.edu/~tks/tab/ or http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Arena/9857/ VERSE 1: A page is turned by the wind To a boy in dimpled grin With a world to conquer At the age of ten But as history unfolds And the story book is told He finds salvation But not at the hands of man and CHORUS 1: The God of second chance He picked him up and He let him dance Through a world that is not kind And all this time preparing him the one To hold him up when he comes undone Beneath the storm, beneath the sun And now a man, here you stand Your day has come VERSE 2: A page is turned in this world To reveal a little girl With a heart that's bigger As it is unfurled By the language in her soul That's teaching her to grow With a careful cover Of Love that will not fail CHORUS 2: The God of second chance Picked her up and let her dance Through a world that is not kind And all this time preparing her the one To hold her up when she comes undone Beneath the storm, beneath the sun And grown up tall, here you are Your day has come BRIDGE 1: Beneath the air of April She took him by the hand And warm within the ardor She took his heart instead And high upon the mountain He asked her for her hand Just for her hand INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE 2 [from Paul Stookey's "Wedding Song"]: Well then what's to be the reason For becoming man and wife Is it love that brings you here Or love that brings you life And if loving is the answer Then who's the giving for Do you believe in something That you've never seen before Your day has come VERSE 3: A page is turned in this life He's making her his wife And there is no secret To the Source of this much life And the Grace that falls like rain Is washing them again Just a chance to somehow Rise above this land CHORUS 3: Where the God of second chance Will pick them up and let them dance Through a world that is not kind. And all this time they're sharing with the One Who holds them up when they come undone Beneath the storm, beneath the sun And once again, here you stand Your day has come
