WATCHING THE WEELS
words and music John Lennon
[Intro]
| C | F | C | F |
[Verse 1]
C F C
People say I'm crazy - doin' what I'm doing
C F C
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings - to save me from ruin
F Dm G G
When I say that I'm O.K. well they look at me kinda strange:
F Dm G G G 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.
C F C
Well, they give me all kinds of advice - designed to enlighten me.
F Dm G G
Well I tell 'em that I'm doin fine watching shadows on the wall:
F Dm G G G G
"Don't you miss the big time, boy? You're no longer on the ball."
[Chorus]
F G C Am
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
F Am Dm Dm/C
I really love to watch them roll.
G G/F Am Am/G
No longer riding on the merry go round.
Am/F# F Fm
I just had to let it go.
[Verse 2]
People asking questions - lost in confusion.
Well, I tell them there's no problem, - only solutions.
They shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind. -
I tell them there's no hurry. I'm just sitting here doing time.-
[Chorus]
F G C Am
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
F Am Dm Dm/C
I really love to watch them roll.
G G/F Am Am/G
No longer riding on the merry go round.
Am/F# F Fm
I just had to let it go.
[Outro]
