Wheel     Jerry Jeff Walker

(G) If I took a (Em)rollin' wheel, (C)rolled it ten times (D)round,
(G)Would it travel (Em)far from here,  (G)would it just go (D)round,
Round and (G)round?  (Em)    (G)    (Em)

(G)As a (Em)young boy I (G)helped the (Em)old man (C)workin' in the (G)fields, (D)
And (G)every (Em)day, we (G)hauled the (Em)hay to the (C)rollin' of the (G)wheels, (D)
(G)Till one (Em)day the (G)tractor (Em)laid the (C)old man down to the (G)ground, (D)
The (G)tractor (Em)pitched him in(G)to a (Em)ditch and (C)left a dusty (G)sound
Of the (Em)wheel that kept spinnin' round, the (C)wheel kept spinnin' (Em)round.      (D)

(G)Rollin' (Em)wheels, (G)rollin' (Em)on, (C)takin' us all on our (G)way, (D)
(G)Rollin' (Em)wheels, (G)rollin' (Em)on, (C)takin' back all that they (Em)gave
(C)Takin' us all on our (Em)way, they're (C)takin' back all that they (Em)save. (D)

I've (G)never (Em)knew my (G)father (Em)well, the (C)war called him too (G)soon, (D)
(G)Said he (Em)was an (G)offi(Em)cer, saw some (C)pictures in my (G)room. (D)
(G)The letter (Em)said he was re(G)ported (Em)dead, near the (C)front lines he'd been (G)found, (D)
A (G)mine blew his (Em)jeep into a (G)twisted (Em)heep, (C) andI still hear the (Em)sound
Of the (C)wheel that kept spinnin' (Em)round. (C)    (Em) (D)

(G)Rollin' (Em)wheel, (G)rollin' (Em)on, (C)takin' us all on our (G)way, (D)
(G)Rollin' (Em)wheels, (G)rollin' (Em)on, C)takin' us all to the (Em)grave,
(C)Takin' back all that they (Em)save, (C)takin' us all on our (Em)way. (D)

My (G)brother (Em)chased a (G)dream of (Em)wheels, his (C)whole life geared for the (G)race, (D)
As (G)soon as he (Em)could, he drove (G)off for (Em)good,
His (C)whole life was short, quick, and (G)straight. (D)
He (G)only (Em)lived to (G)spin those (Em)wheels and (C)make that move over (G)ground, (D)
Till the (G)steering (Em)failed and he (G)crashed the (Em)rail, 
And he (C)laid there still for the (Em)sound of the (C)wheel that kept spinning (Em)round.     (D)

(G)Rollin' (Em)wheels, they're (G) rollin' (Em)on,  (C)takin' us all on our (G)way. (D)
The (G)rollin' (Em)wheels, (G)rollin' (Em)on, (C)takin' back all that they (Em)gave,
(C)Takin' us all on our (Em)way, as they' re (C)takin' back all that they (Em)save. (D)

(G)As for (Em)me, my (G)life's too (Em)short, the (C)wheel has carried me (G)far, (D)
A(G)round this (Em)world a (G)hundred (Em)times, by (C)bus, truck, train, bike, or (G)car, (D)
And (G)just like the (Em)rest I roll (G)on to my (Em)death 
On a (C)country road far from (G)town. (D)
It's (G)there by the (Em)wheel just as (G)sure as I (Em)feel 
That (C)there won't be but one (Em)sound, that's the (C)wheel that keeps spinning (Em)round,
Yeah, the (C)wheel that keeps spinning (Em)round.   (C)    (Em) (D)

(G)Rollin' (Em)wheels, (G)rollin' (Em)on, (C)takin' us all on our (G)way, (D)
The (G)rollin' (Em)wheels, (G)rollin' (Em)on, (C)takin' back all that they (Em)say,
(C)Takin' us all on our (Em)way, (C)takin' us all on our (Em)way. (D)
The (G)rollin' (Em)wheels, yeah,(G) rollin' (Em)on, (C)takin' back all that they (Em)gave, 
(C)Takin' us all on our (Em)way.   (C)    (Em)
