CROWDED HOUSE - CATHERINE WHEELS
Tabbed by JNPF1
[Verse 1]
Am6 Em
No night to stay in,
Am6 Em
A bad moon is rising again,
Am6 G
Dice rolls and you burn,
Cadd9 B7
Come down I fear,
E Am7
As that cold wheel turns.
Am6 Em
I know what I know,
Am6 Em
Sad Claude's been sleeping around,
Am6 G
To stroke the right nerve,
Cadd9 B7
Who's needs do I serve?
E Am7 Am6
As Catherine's Wheel Turns.
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 D
She was always the first to say gone,
G Cadd9 D
She's got her Catherine Wheels on,
G Cadd9 Am6 Em
Always the first to say gone.
[Verse 2]
Am6 Em
Go kindly with him,
Am6 Em
To his blind apparition,
Am6 G
Whose face creases up,
Cadd9 B7
With age gone grey,
E Am7 Am6
We'll be back here one day.
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 D
She was always the first to say gone,
G Cadd9 D
She's got her Catherine Wheels on,
G Cadd9 D
Always the first to say gone,
G Cadd9 B7
She's got her Catherine Wheels on, Wheels on,
G Cadd9
D
Catherine Wheels,
G Cadd9
D
Catherine Wheels,
G Cadd9

Catherine Wheels,

[Verse 3]
D G
She's gone vanished in the night,
C D
Broke off the logic of life,
G
He woke tore the covers back,
C D
Found he was empty inside,
G
So they were told when the moon would rise,
C D
The best time to leave with your soul,
G
She's gone, up towards the light,
C D Dm
Watching her whole life unfold, ohh
Cadd9 Gm D
Bruises come up dark.
[Verse 4]
D G
So strong was his hold on her,
C D
Regarded by some as his slave,
G
He spoke as in a strangers tongue,
C D Dm
To scare us and drive you away, eh
Cadd9 Gm
Bruises come up dark.
[Outro]
Am Am6 Am7
