The Iron Wheel

A           D    A               
Sometimes I tell you to just sit 
E
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 
When you're sure that it's just 
   A
begun

Chorus:
    E                 D      A
The iron wheel slowly spins around
   E                             
It takes you from the cradle 'til 
        D             A
you're six feet underground
    E                           
You push and pull against it but 
        D                 F#m
you'll ride it 'til it's through
    A                  E          
And those who spin the wheel well 
      D               A
those fuckers ride it too

A           D    A            E
Sometimes I tell you to move along
            D               Bm    
When you're sure you should stand 
    A
and fight
A           D    A              
Sometimes I tell you that you're
         E
 a lucky man
        D            Bm           
But the numbers they don't add up 
A
right

Chorus

    F#m                            
The good wife rides the wheel as 
  D               A
the years just slip away
     F#m                           
T.V. preacher rides the wheel as he
 D                  A
 leads the flock astray
     F#m                           
Lady Justice rides the wheel but 
  D            A
her balance is unsure
          F#m                    
Cause the truth it lies in pieces 
           D               E
scattered on the newsroom floor

A           D    A               E
Sometimes I tell you to just let go
            D               Bm    
When you're sure you should hold 
  A
on tight
A           D    A              
Sometimes I tell you you're time
            E
 will never come
            D              Bm     
When you're sure that your time's 
       A
come tonight

Chorus
