play each chord holding down the third fret on the high e string

Verse 1

G Em The wing and the wheel, oh, they carry things away Am7 Whether it's me that does the leavin' D Or the love that flies away G Em The moon outside my window looks so lonely tonight Am7 Oh, there's a chunk out of its middle D Big enough for an old fool to hide

Riff

Verse 2

G Em Where are all the dreAmers that I used know? Am7 We used to linger beneath street lAmps D In the halos and the smoke G Em Then the wing and the wheel cAme to carry thEm away Am7 Now they all live out in the suburbs D Where their dreAms are in their children at play

Riff

Verse 3

G There's a pale sky in the east Em All the stars are in the west Am7 Oh, and here's to all the dreAmers D May our open hearts find rest G Em The wing and the wheel are gonna carry us along Am7 And we'll have mEmories for company D Long after the songs are gone Riff as outro
