Biography:
Duke Special (real name Peter Wilson; born on 4 January 1971 in Lisburn, Northern Ireland) is a Northern Ireland songwriter and performer based in Belfast. A piano-based songwriter with a romantic style and a warm, distinctly accented voice, he has distinctive long dreadlocks, eyeliner and outfits he describes as "hobo chic".
Live performances have a theatrical style inspired by Vaudeville and music hall, and often incorporate 78s played on an old-fashioned gramophone, or sound effects from a transistor radio.

Duke Special - Freewheel
There’s 2 versions of this song as far as I’m aware, I think one is a
radio version and the other an album version but I’m not sure. What I
call the ‘album’ version is 3:55 long and the ‘radio’ version is 4:41
long if that helps!
The ‘album’ version has the capo on the 3rd fret, the ‘radio’ version
has the capo on the 2nd fret and doesn’t contain the Middle.
Anyway you should be able to figure it out. Great song. I’m fairly
confident this is very right!

D/F# G A Bm A G
Verse 1:
G D/F# Em D/F#
Save me from the movies and someone else's dreams
G D/F# Em D/F#

Verse 2
G D/F# Em D/F#
Save my feet from dancing with just anyone at all
G D/F# Em D/F#
Worn out shoes cause lotus blue keeps hanging in the hall
G D/F# Em D/F#
You're this face in the distance I hope to recognize but
G D/F# Em D/F#
It's like running through deep water trying to look into your eyes
