"The Wheel" (Rosanne Cash) >From the album _The_Wheel_ Transcribed with no permission whatsoever by Marc Hirsh ---------------------------------------------------------------- Here's the title song to Rosanne Cash's brilliant latest album. I'm not entirely sure what the intro riff is, but I think that it's something along the lines of: Dsus2 A E-----------5-----|-----------5---|-----------5---|-----------5---| B-------5-------5-|-------5-------|-------5-------|-------5-------| G---7-------------|---7-----------|---6-----------|---6-----------| D-7---7---7---7---|-7---7---7---7-|-7---7---7---7-|-7---7---7---7-| A-----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| E-----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| Dsus2 A E-----------5-----|-----------5---|-----------5---|-----------5---| B-------5-------5-|-------5-------|-------5-------|-------5-------| G---7-------------|---7-----------|---6-----------|---6-----------| D-7---7---7---7---|-7---7---7---7-|-7---7---7---7-|-7---7---7---7-| A-----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| E-----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| Dsus2 A E-----------5-----|-----------5---|-----------5---|-----------5---| B-------5-------5-|-------5-------|-------5-------|-------5-------| G---7-------------|---7-----------|---6-----------|---6-----------| D-7---7---7---7---|-7---7---7---7-|-7---7---7---7-|-7---7---7---7-| A-----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| E-----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| E-----------5-----|-----------5---|-----------5---|-----------5---| B-------5-------5-|-------5-------|-------5-------|-------5-------| G---4-------------|---4-----------|---4-----------|---4-----------| D-7---7---7---7---|-7---7---7---7-|-7---7---7---7-|-7---7---7---7-| A-----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| E-----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| but I'm not sure. Steuart Smith is very close to being God, and so I can't tell with a high level of certainty. Plus, the way I've tabbed it out, the riff is a bitch to play, but then, I'm not very good. Any corrections are totally welcome. Anyway, this may not matter that much if, like me, the key of D is just way to high for you to sing. I've transposed it to A, capoed up at the 2nd fret. I'll put my chords at the end. I also don't know the solo, but it shouldn't be too hard to either figure it out yourself or just fake it. That's what I do.

^DHow long was ^AI alseep' ^DWhen did we ^Aplan to meet' ^DHave you been ^Awaiting long for ^Bmme' ^DWhen did the ^Asky turn black' ^DDo you still ^Awant me back' ^DI'll pick it ^Aall up piece by ^Bmpiece.

(I'm not sure - this next chord could be Em, but G is used for ever other chorus, so I'm putting it here)

And the ^Gwheel goes ^Around and ^Dround. And the ^Gflame in our ^Asouls will ^Bmnever burn out. And the ^Gwheel, and the ^Awheel goes ^Dround.

^DI am a ^Ariver with a voice. ^DI came in^Ato your life by choice. ^DAnd none can ^Ajudge just how that ^Bmfeels. ^DYou are a ^Amessenger from God. ^DYou are the ^Aangel I forgot. ^DAnd who's to ^Asay that it isn't ^Bmreal'

And the ^Gwheel goes ^Around and ^Dround. And the ^Gflame in our ^Asouls will ^Bmnever burn out. And the ^Gwheel, and the ^Awheel goes ^Dround.

^F#mI'm not looking for the ^Ganswers. ^F#mOh, darling don't you ^Gsee ^F#mThat just to know the ^Equestion ^GIs good enough for ^Ame.

(solo which is based on a rising D scale, that much I know)

^DTake up the ^Ahearts you came to heal. ^DPut down your ^Adagger and your shield. ^DYou need fear ^Anothing now from ^Bmme. ^DI see the ^Aessence of the man. ^DI stand be^Afore you as a friend. ^DThe truth moves ^Athrough us even when we ^Bmsleep.

And the ^Gwheel goes ^Around and ^Dround. And the ^Gflame in our ^Asouls will ^Bmnever burn out. And the ^Gwheel, and the ^Awheel goes ^Ground. ^A

(alternate between G and A a few times then back to D with riff) ================================================================ Still with me' Good. If you'd like the handy-dandy Marc Hirsh transposition into the key of A, follow along. Capo at the 2nd fret. Then, change the following chords: Chord in original key Chord FORM capoed at 2 --------------------- ---------------------- D G A D Bm Em G C F#m Bm E A That should do it. With a text editor, you should be able to change the chords in the main body of this file yourself. Not only does it make it easier on us baritone-types, but it also eliminates that pesky F#m chord, which can be a pain if your fingers aren't in the mood to barre chords. If you get some use out of this song, let me know, so I can be sure that I'm not just posting to see my own name on the .net. -- Marc Hirsh (marc@owlnet.rice.edu) \ / ^ --"I went to the funeral and Lord it made me happy..."
