  5    -3  -3  4   4  -3  -3  5   5
Round like a  cir-cle in  a  spi-ral
 -3  -3  6     6  -5 5  -5
Like a wheel with-in a wheel
 -3 -3  4   4  -3 -3  -5  -5
Nev-er end-ing or be-gin-ing
-3 -3 -6 -6  6    -5    6
On an ev-er spin-ning reel
 5   5  -5  -5    5  5  -7  -7
Like a snowball down a mountain
 5 5  -8  -8 7   -7   7
Or a carn-i-val bal-loon
 -4  -4  5  5   -4   -4    -6  -6
Like a  car-ou-sel that's turning
 -4  -4    7    7  -7  -6  -7
Run-ning rings around the moon

 -3  -3 4  4   -3   -3  5  5
Like a tunnel that you follow
-3 -3 6  6  -5  5  -5 
To a tunnel of its own
 -3  -3 4   4 -3 -3 -5  -5 
Down a hollow to a  cav-ern
  -3   -3  -6 -6   6  -5   6
Where the sun has  never shone
 5   5  -5   -5    5    5 -7 -7
Like a door that keeps revolving
 5 5  -8  -8  7 -7    7
In a half forgotten dream
-4  -4  5   5   -4  -4 -6 -6 
or the ripples from a peb-ble
-4  -4   7  7  -7 -6   -7 
Someone tosses in a stream

 4   4   -4   -4    4     4   6   6 
Like a clock who's hands are sweeping
 4    4   -7  -7 -6   6   -6
Past the minutes of it's face
 -3  -3   4   4   -3  -3 -5 -5
And the world is like an ap-ple
 -3  -3  -6 -6  6  -5  6  
Whirling silently in space
  3   3   6   6   -5   5   -5
Like the circles that you find
-3  -3  -5   -5   5  -4    5   
In the windmills of your mind

 -3   -3   4  4  -3  -3  5   5 
Keys that jingle in your pocket
 -3    -3   6  6  -5   6   -6
Words that jangle in your head
 -4  -4  5   5 -4 -4  -6  -6  
Why did summer go so quickly ?
 -4 -4  -5   -5   6   -6   -7
Was it something that you said ?
6   6   -6  -6 -6  6  -8
Lovers walk a-long a shore
 -8   6     6    -9    -9    8  -8   8 
And leave their foot prints in the sand
-5  -5   6    6 -5  -5   7   7   
Is the sound of distant drumming
 -5   -5  8   8  -8   7   -8  
Just the fingers of your hand ?

-5   -5   -7  -7 -6 -6 -7  -7 
Pictures hanging in a  hallway
 5   5   6    6  -5 -7  7
And the fragment of a  song
 -4  -4 5   5    -4    -4 -6  -6 
Half remembered names and fac-es
 -4 -4  -5  -5  6   -6  -7 
But to whom do they belong ?
 4    4   -4   -4  4   4  6  6 
When you knew that it was ov-er
 4    4  -7 -7 -6 6  -6
you were suddenly a-ware
 6    6  -5 -5    5     5    6   6
That the autumn leaves were turning
-5  -5  5  5  -4  -4   5
To the colour of her hair!

 -3  -3  4   4  -3  -3  5   5 
Like a  cir-cle in  a  spi-ral
 -3  -3  6    6   -5 5   -5
Like a wheel with-in a wheel
-3  -3  4   4  -3 -3  -5  -5
Nev-er end-ing or be-gin-ing
-3 -3 -6 -6  6    -5   6  
On an ev-er spin-ning reel
3   3  6  6  -5 5   6
As the im-a-ges unwind
 -3   -3  6   6    -5  5   -5
Like the circles that you find
-3  -3  -5   -5   5  -4   5
In the windmills of your mind.....
