These Old Wheels

G Silence is golden some may say, some may say C G D/F# I say silence is an aimless time to k**l Em D/F# C Its a restless feeling pounding on my brain both night and day G D/F# G and these old wheels of mine spin louder as it builds G Yes the sky would surely fall if my dear eardrum did fail C G D/F# to beat a single time, in time or out Em D/F# C Some may make it out alright and some may have never known G D/F# G but these old wheels spin far too loud, far too loud G For I love to hear a chorus from the morning bird choir C G D/F# and the sounds of coffee boiling on the pot Em D/F# C How I love to hear I love you in a dry morning tone G D/F# G And just assume that if I can’t these wheels would stop G Yes happy is the day I lay my poor head down C G D/F# with neither trial nor trouble to compete Em D/F# C with the chirp of summer crickets nor a tree frog’s croak G D/F# G And these old wheels slow down enough so that I may sleep G Silence is golden some may say, some may say C G D/F# I say silence is an aimless time to k**l Em D/F# C Its a restless feeling pounding on my brain both night and day G D/F# G and these old wheels of mine spin louder as it builds
