SOMETIMES THE WHEELS - Neil Halstead
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Steve L
Tuning: Standard, no capo (although I've seen him play it with capo on 1st fret)

Notes:
My 1st tab!
Love the song and couldn't find a tab so did this myself.
The picking needs to be pretty quick and fluid.
The picking for the verse/chorus is pretty much the same, follow the chords on the lyrics.
The (0) is optional on the verse, sometimes played, sometimes not.
The C/G chord when picking is your C shape and hitting the G note on the bottom E string.
If you were strumming this would be a quick G chord.

C
Knock on the door - it's early morning
Am                   C/G                 F
Man in a suit says - he wants to talk to me
          C/G   C           C/G      F
About the big J-C - who the f*ck is he

C
Reach in his bag and he takes out a bible
Am                       C/G            F
Says he was a man - just like you and me
C/G        C                F           C
Woo pee dee

F                         C
I don't like his suit and I don't like his tie
        Am                         G                F
And I don't like the fact he's so happy coming for me
    C/G   C
The big J-C

Chorus:

F                          C
Sometimes the wheels fall off
F                           C
And sometimes you can't get up
F                     C                         G
And sometimes I just sit and think and I don't talk much
F                       C
No I don't think much


F                          C
Sometimes the world moves fast
F                           C
And sometimes you can't keep up
F                     C                         G
And sometimes I just sit and think and I don't think much
      F                 C       G
No I don't think much
      F                 C       G
No I don't think much
      F                 C       G       F       C       G       C
No I don't think much

C/G
Boy on a pavement looks at a picture
Am                                            F
It looks like the eighties - why did it happen to me
                C        F              C
Twice in a lifetime now -   Twice in a lifetime more


C/G
Teenage years try-na not look like
                Am              F               C
somebody like him - but what can I do?

C                  F                            C
Shoulder pads and belts, Morten Harket in tights
                        F                       C
Oh, Im sorry theyre jeans, how did ya get them on?
                     F                          C
Will they ever come off? Will they ever come off?


Chorus
