John Lennon -Watching The Wheels (acoustic)

Title: John Lennon - Watching The Wheels lyrics


People say I'm crazy doing 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. they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game,

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away,
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me,
When I tell that I'm doing 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 wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go,

People asking questions lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there's no problem,
Only solutions,
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time,

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.

I remember being really in a depressed state, and I would sit on the bus home from school and cry listening to this song because it made me so happy. :)

Thank you, John Lennon. You not only changed THE world, but you changed MINE.

@chiaskid Well, even Beiber fans stumble upon greatness and don't even know it. That is what makes them Beiber fans, I guess.

It's recordings like this gem right here left behind by one of the greatest to ever write a song that makes my head just spin in a great way. I love the raw and gritty nature of it. Rustic and loose. The way John loved his songs to be. Right down to the ambient sounds made after the last note played. Perfect!

I love this version. Nice editing, too.

i know people are entitled to their opinions but, how can anyone dislike this?!

The world needs another Lennon. Look at all the crap going on RIGHT NOW because no voice has the balls anymore to preach REAL PEACE. Now its all about materials and money and making people laugh through stupidity. No message, no beauty, no truth. Just a bunch of rich clowns eager to make a buck while the world burns down. Disgusting, if God gave you talent, use it for truth love and peace... anything else is a waste if you think about it. Because the mindless cycle is a short lived one.

Roystothecoolkid is correct its in the key of "D' .....BUT its played with a Capo on 2cnd fret. Playing the chords "C" and "F".

This obviously moves it up a tone C > D
