The Song sounds in (Fm): If you want to play along on guitar....Capo 1  Then play Em-AM. The 'trippy' backward loop effect at the end is really really 'weird'!

[Stevo5862]

This was written by the late Jim Pfahler.  I don't know if he sang on this.

[gillesbertacco]

Interesting Character...too bad there´s (almost) nothing on the net about him...

[dkastran]

Yes he did sing lead on it.

[gillesbertacco]

Wow. I LOVE this song...along with "First Grade Reader", these were their best songs...

[Stevo5862]

I had this album at one time. I thought it was very good. Can you upload "Winter Skies"?

[carllovesjesus]

i have this cd.i can burn you a copy for nothing

[OffTheAir1996]

I stillhave this on vinyl. What about "She's not Coming Home?" "Winter Skies," is definately one of the best couple of songs on the album with "Turn To Straw."

3) Pictures in your head girl..tell you where it's at..the futures looking dark for you..I tell you it's turning black.. But you don't know where your mind has gone? But you'll find out when you come back..you'll see your body's turned to straw (psychedelic backwards loop 'echoplex effects' fade out)

2) Your friend's they're all making..magic mystery..they say they've had visions..of many sinkin' ships..But you don't know where your mind has gone..but you'll find out when you come back..you'll see your body's turned to straw..

1) Ten thousand harpsichords..blowin' in the wind..multicolored magic mist..swirling in your head..But you don't know where your mind has gone? But you'll find out when you come back..you see your body's turned to straw..

I first discovered the 'psychedelic' side of OHIO EXPRESS around 1983...I was in a Target store and a 'Bubblegum' compilation cassette tape was on sale for $2.99. This weir tune was my very favorite then I lost the tape...Now it's been over 25 years and I am sitting down right now to 'transcribe' this song...has some similarities to John Lennons 'Tomorrow Never Knows'..got to love it!

Thankyou for this I have been trying to find this song & lyrics forever!

[carllovesjesus]

i have the cd of the original album.i used to have it when i was a kid on album.would you like to have a copy of it.

[videogeekin]

Thank you for the offer...but you don't have to do that.. Someday if I go into Downtown San Francisco to 'Amoeba Records' I can buy the complete CD..for the time being I just saved the song :"Turned To Straw' on my PC so I can transcribe it! Thankyou!
