Catherine Wheel  by Crowded House


     C7       Fm
No night to stay in
     C7       Fm
Bad moon is rising again
      C7  
Dice rolls 
      Ab
And you burn
     C#      C7
Come down I fear
         F        Bbm7
As that cold wheel turns
    C7       Fm
I know what I know
     C7            Fm
Sad clone's been sleeping around
     C7             Ab
To stroke the right nerve
      C#           C7
Whose needs do I serve
      F               Bbm7     C7
As Catherine's wheel turns
Ab                 C#           Eb (sus4)Eb
She was always the first to say gone
Ab            C#           Eb (sus4)Eb
She's got her catherine wheels on
Ab        C#           C7
Always the first to say gone
    C7     Fm7      
Go kindly with him
        C7        Fm7 
To his blind apparition
       C7          Fm7
Whose face creases up
      C#        C7
With age gone grey
        F            Bbm7
He'll back here one day
          Ab       C#           Eb (sus4)Eb
She was always the first to say gone
Ab                 C#           Eb (sus4)Eb
She's got her catherine wheels on
Ab        C#           C7
Always the first to say gone
 Ab        C#           C7
                         C7
She's got her catherine wheels on
  C7
Wheels on
Ab     C#    Eb (sus4) Eb
Catherine wheels
Ab     C#    Eb (sus4) Eb REPEAT 3 Times

Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus4 Eb Repeat 4 Times

Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus4 Eb
              She's gone Vanished in the night
Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus4 Eb
Broke off the logic of light
Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2 Ab 
He woke Tore the covers back
                    Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus4 Eb
(use same chord changes as before) 
Found he was empty inside
So they were told 
When the moon would rise
The best time to leave with your soul
She's gone
But towards the light

                          Eb
Watching her whole life unfold
Ebm           C#            Ab
            Bruises come out dark

D#9sus4   Bb11       D#9sus4   Bb11   D#9sus4   Bb11   
Repeat 5 times

Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2   Ab
 So strong was his hold on her
                         Eb Ebsus4 Eb
Regarded by some as his slave
                 Ab
He spoke as in a stranger's tongue
                          Eb  Ebm
To spare us and drive you away
  C#              G7
Bruises come out dark

(dont be put off by the strange chord names...basically they are the A form you 
play at the first fret, barred futher up,and the little finger  you put on and 
off. up one fret and so on.11 th chords are basically just the top 5 strings all 
held on one (appropriate) fret.The song begins by singing G# (no)and then G 
(night).Thats probably the hardest bit.Just mail if you need to know more.
