Capo 2
A D A x2
A D A E
Sometimes I tell you to just sit still
D Bm A
When you know that it's time to run
A D A E
Sometimes I tell you it's all over
D Bm A
When you're sure that it's just begun
Chorus:
E D A
The iron wheel slowly spins around
E D A
It takes you from the cradle 'til you're six feet underground
E D F#m
You push and pull against it but you'll ride it 'til it's through
A E D A
And those who spin the wheel well those fuckers ride it too
A D A E
Sometimes I tell you to move along
D Bm A
When you're sure you should stand and fight
A D A E
Sometimes I tell you that you're a lucky man
D Bm A
But the numbers they don't add up right
Chorus
F#m D A
The good wife rides the wheel as the years just slip away
F#m D A
T.V. preacher rides the wheel as he leads the flock astray
F#m D A
Lady Justice rides the wheel but her balance is unsure
F#m D E
Cause the truth it lies in pieces scattered on the newsroom floor
A D A E
Sometimes I tell you to just let go
D Bm A
When you're sure you should hold on tight
A D A E
Sometimes I tell you you're time will never come
D Bm A
When you're sure that your time's come tonight
Chorus
A E D A
