Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]The big wheel keeps
on [Em]turning[Asus4]
On [D]a simple line,
day by [Em]day[Asus4][A]
The earth [D]spins on its [Em]axis[Asus4]
[A]One man [D]struggle while
another re[Em]laxes
[Asus4]

[Verse 2]
[A]There's a hol[D]e in my
soul like a cavity
Seems the world is out to gather
just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning,
the sky's rearranging

[Verse 3]
Look, my son, the weather is changing
[D]
I'd like to feel that you could be free
Look up at the blue skies
beneath a new tree
Sometime again, you'll turn green,
and the sea turns red
My son, I said,
the power of reflections over my head

[Verse 4]
The [D]big wheel keeps on turn[Em]ing[Asus4]
[A]On [D]a simple line, day by [Em]day[A]
The [D]earth spins on its ax[Em]is[A]
One [D]man struggle while another relaxes
[Em][Asus4]

[Verse 5]
[A]We sang about the[D] sun
and danced among the trees
And we listened to the whisper
of the city on the breeze
Will you cry in the most in
a lead- free zone
Down within the shadows
where the factories drone
On [A]the surface of the [D]wheel
they build another town
And so the green come tumbling down
Yes, close your eyes and hold me tight
And I'll show you sunset
sometime again

[Verse 6]
[D]The big wheel keeps on
turn[Em]ing[Asus4][A]
On [D]a simple line, day by [Em]day[A]
The [D]earth spins on its [Em]axis[A]
One [D]man struggle while another [Em]relaxes
[Asus4][A]

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 7]
As [D]a child solemn pray,
my hope hides in disguise
While satellites and cameras
watch from the skies
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
It washed away my shadow,
burnt a hole in me
And all the king's men
cannot put it back again
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
And mend my soul sometime again

[Verse 8]
[D]For the big wheel keeps
on [Em]turning[Asus4]
On a [A]simple [D]line, day by [Em]day[A]
The [D]earth spins on its ax[Em]is[Asus4]
[A]One man [D]struggle while
another re[Em]laxes[Asus4]
[A]For the big

[Verse 9]
[D]wheel keeps
on [Em]turning[Asus4]
On a [A]simple [D]line, day by [Em]day[A]
[D]The earth spins on [Em]its axis[A]
[D]One man struggle while another relaxes
[Em]For

[Verse 10]
[A]the big[D] wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line, day by day
The earth spins on its axis

[Outro 1]
One man struggle while another relaxes
[D][Em][E][A]
[A]
[A][D][D][D][A][D][D][A]
[E][D][A]
[D][A][A]
