I saw there wasn't a tab for "Watching the Wheels", which is a great song, and I didn't know how to tab it,
so I snuck it in the comments section. I figured the most traffic would be through "Imagine". I also have a
version of "Imagine" that I will post soon.

Capo2
[C] People say I'm crazy [Fmaj7] doing what I'm [C] doing
[C] They give me all kinds of warnings [Fmaj7] to save me from [C] ruin
[Fmaj7] When I say that [Dm] I'm o.k. well they [G] look at me kind of strange
[Fmaj7] œSurely you're not [Dm] happy now you no [G] longer play the game?

[C] People say I'm lazy [Fmaj7] dreaming my [C] life away
[C] Well they give me all kinds of advice [Fmaj7] designed to [C] enlighten me
I [Fmaj7] tell them that I'm [Dm] doing fine watching [G] shadows on the wall
[Fmaj7]œDon't you miss the [Dm]big time boy, you're no [G]longer on the ball?

[F] I'm just [G] sitting here making the [C] wheels go round and [Am] round
[F] I [Dm] love to watch them roll [F]
[G] No longer riding on the [Am] merry-go-round
[F] I just [F7] had to let it go [C] [C/B] [C/A] [C/G] [Fmaj7]

[C] Ah, people asking questions, [Fmaj7] lost in confusion
Well I [C] tell them there's no problem, [Fmaj7] only sol[C]utions
Well they [Fmaj7] shake their heads and
they [Dm] look at me as [G] if I've lost my mind
[F] I tell them there's no [Dm] hurry,
I'm just [G] sitting here doing time

[F] I'm just [G] sitting here watching the [C] wheels go round and [Am] round
[F] I really [F/E] love to watch them [Dm] roll [Dm7]
[G] No longer [G7] riding on the [Am] merry-go-round [Am/G]
[F] I just [F7] had to let it go [C] [C/B] [C/A] [C/G]
[F] I just [Fm6] had to let it go [Cmaj7]
