Here's the title song to Rosanne Cash's brilliant latest album.

I'm not entirely sure what the intro riff is, but I think that

it's something along the lines of:

but I'm not sure. Steuart Smith is very close to being God, and so

I can't tell with a high level of certainty. Plus, the way I've

tabbed it out, the riff is a bitch to play, but then, I'm not very

good. Any corrections are totally welcome.

D A

How long was I alseep?

D A

When did we plan to meet?

D A Bm

Have you been waiting long for me?

D A

When did the sky turn black?

D A

Do you still want me back?

D A Bm

I'll pick it all up piece by piece.

(I'm not sure - this next chord could be Em, but G is used for

ever other chorus, so I'm putting it here)

G A D

And the wheel goes round and round.

G A Bm

And the flame in our souls will never burn out.

G A D

And the wheel, and the wheel goes round.

D A

I am a river with a voice.

D A

I came into your life by choice.

D A Bm

And none can judge just how that feels.

D A

You are a messenger from God.

D A

You are the angel I forgot.

D A Bm

And who's to say that it isn't real?

G A D

And the wheel goes round and round.

G A Bm

And the flame in our souls will never burn out.

G A D

And the wheel, and the wheel goes round.

F#m G

I'm not looking for the answers.

F#m G

Oh, darling don't you see

F#m E

That just to know the question

G A

Is good enough for me.

(Solo which is based on a rising D scale, that much I know)

D A

Take up the hearts you came to heal.

D A

Put down your dagger and your shield.

D A Bm

You need fear nothing now from me.

D A

I see the essence of the man.

D A

I stand before you as a friend.

D A Bm

The truth moves through us even when we sleep.

G A D

And the wheel goes round and round.

G A Bm

And the flame in our souls will never burn out.

G A G A

And the wheel, and the wheel goes round.

(Alternate between G and A a few times then back to D with riff)
