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
Some say a heart is just like a wheel,
When you bend it, you can't mend it.
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid ocean.
They say that death is a tragedy;
It comes once and it's over.
But my only wish is for that deep dark abyss,
'Cause what's the use of living with no true lover?
When harm is done no love can be won,
I know it happens frequently.
What I can't understand, Oh please God hold my hand,
Why it should have happened to me.
And it's only love, and it's only love.
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
/
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out.
Some say a heart is just like a wheel,
When you bend it, you can't mend it.
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid ocean.
And it's only love, and it's only love.
And it's only love, and it's only love.
And it's only love, and it's only love.
And it's only love, and it's only love
