WATCHING THE WHEELS (John Lennon)


INTRO:  C   F


C                       F                  C
  People say I'm crazy    doin' what I'm doing
                                          F                  C
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings    to save me from ruin
 F              Dm                   G      
When I say that I'm O.K. well they look at me kinda strange:
  F                Dm                G                    
"Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game."


C                      F              C
  People say I'm lazy    dreamin' my life away.
                                       F                C
Well, they give me all kinds of advice   designed to enlighten me.

 
       F                    Dm                  G   
Well they tell 'em that I'm doin fine watching shadows on the wall:
F                     Dm                        G 
  "Don't you miss the big time, boy? You're no longer on the ball."


F          G                          C                  Am
  I'm just sitting here watching the weels go round and round
F          Am                 Dm7   Dm7/C
  I really love to watch them roll.
G           G/F           Am        Am/G
  No longer riding on the merry go round.
F#m7  F             Ab6    C
      I just had to let it go.


C                         F           C  
  People asking questions  lost in confusion.
                                      F         C  
Well, I tell them there's no problem,   only solutions.
 F                          Dm            G             
shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind. 
    F                  Dm               G        
I tell them there's no hurry. I'm just sitting here doing time.-
