These Old Wheels

G
Silence is golden some may say, some may say
        C                           G      D/F#
I say silence is an aimless time to kill
      Em                D/F#          C
Its a restless feeling pounding on my brain both night and day
              G                   D/F#         G
and these old wheels of mine spin louder as it builds


[Verse 2]
G
Yes the sky would surely fall if my dear eardrum did fail
   C                              G      D/F#
to beat a single time, in time or out
 Em              D/F#            C
Some may make it out alright and some may have never known
              G                   D/F#          G
but these old wheels spin far too loud, far too loud

[Verse 3]
G
For I love to hear a chorus from the morning bird choir
        C                               G      D/F#
and the sounds of coffee boiling on the pot
      Em              D/F#          C
How I love to hear I love you in a dry morning tone
         G                D/F#                     G
And just assume that if I can’t these wheels would stop


[Verse 4]
G
Yes happy is the day I lay my poor head down
     C                             G      D/F#
with neither trial nor trouble to compete
          Em              D/F#          C
with the chirp of summer crickets nor a tree frog’s croak
              G                D/F#                  G
And these old wheels slow down enough so that I may sleep


[Verse 5]
G
Silence is golden some may say, some may say
        C                           G      D/F#
I say silence is an aimless time to kill
      Em                D/F#          C
Its a restless feeling pounding on my brain both night and day
              G                   D/F#         G
and these old wheels of mine spin louder as it builds
