YouTube and these were the chords they used.
Capo 8
GI'm on the merry go round of life
I wanna Gget off but I don't know Dhow
I can Dtry to jump off Cright away, but
There's no guarantee I'd Gmake it
GSitting on the same old horse
GThought it was the prettiest Dyesterday
And Dnow, I'm here going Cup and down
C (single strum)      D  (single strum) D
Never setting foot on real ground
CHORUS:
I'm going Gmround, up and Fmdown
Round and Cround, up and Dover I GmgoFm  C  D  
I'm going Gmround, up and Fmdown
Round and Cround, up and Dover I GmgoFm  C  D  
CWhat do you do when you're stuck in a cycle
GmOver and over you go (you go)
C"Never let go" they say, but I'm dizzy
DTired of the same old stuff
GI'm on the merry go round of life
I wanna Gget off to fields wide Dopen
To Drun and play on the Cwaves of green
C (single strum)   D  (single strum)  D
Living beyond      these machines, instead...
(CHORUS)
CWhat does it mean, what does if feel like to be Gmfree?
CHolding Your hand, living beyond what's in front of Dme
DAnd what I see; no more...
(CHORUS)
And that's it! Pretty simple. Make sure you have it on Capo 8. That's what Tal uses.
