HEART LIKE A WHEEL
One of the most beautiful and haunting songs ever written. The original and best version 
Kate and Anna McGarrigle, written by Anna.
I couldn’t find the proper version anywhere, so here’s my attempt. Hywel

Written in Eb – Capo on 3rd fret.
/E – play with open high E string

C                   G/E         G
Some say a heart is just like a wheel,
         Em                 Am
When you bend it, you can't mend it.
       Dm                     Am
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
       Dm               F/E             G/E C
And my heart is on that ship out in mid ocean.

 C                       G/E    G
They say that death is a tragedy;
         Em            Am
It comes once and it's over.
       Dm                    Am
But my only wish is for that deep dark abyss,
       Dm                F/E                 G/E  C
'Cause what's the use of living with no true lover?
            Dm    F     G/E  C

C                    G/E         G
When harm is done no love can be won,
          Em             Am
I know it happens frequently.
       Dm                   Am
What I can't understand, Oh please God hold my hand,
Dm                 F/E         G/E  C
Why it should have happened to me.


         Am                  Dm   G
And it's only love, and it's only love.
         F/E           Dm                 G      C
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
         Dm/E          F                  G      C
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out.

C                   G/E        G
Some say a heart is just like a wheel,
         Em                 Am
When you bend it, you can't mend it.
       Dm                     Am
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
       Dm               F/E             G/E  C
And my heart is on that ship out in mid ocean.

         Am   F/E            Dm    G
And it's only love, and it's only love.
         C    F/E            G     C
And it's only love, and it's only love.
         Am  F/E            Dm  G
And it's only love, and it's only love.
         C     F/E           G    C
And it's only love, and it's only love
