WATCHING THE WEELS

words and music John Lennon

People say I'm crazy - doin' waht I what I'm doing

Well, they give me all kinds of warnings - to save me from ruin

When I say that I'm O.K. well they look at me kinda strange:

"Surely you're not happy now - you no longer play the game."

People say I'm lazy - dreamin' my life away.

Well, they give me all kinds of advice - designed to enlighten me.

Well they tell 'em that I'm doin fine watching shadows on the wall:

"Don't you miss the big time, boy ? You're no longer on the ball."

I'm just sitting here watching the weels go round and round

I really love to watch them roll.

No longer riding on the mercy ground.

I just had to let it go.

People asking questions - lost in confusion.

Well, I tell them there's no problem, - only solutions.

Shake their heads and they look at me sa if I've lost my mind. -

I tell them there's no hurry. I'm just sitting here doing time.-

Ref. and then:

I just had to let it go....

There is no reason to read this.

One correction:

>G G/F Am Am/G > No longer riding on the merry ground.

>F#m7 F Ab6 > I just had to let it go.

^^^^ This should be F#m7-5, or Am/F#. (202210)

And someone might want to go through and fix the numerous typos in that Posting. Other than that, the chords look okay.
