• Song:

    Watching the Wheels

  • Artist:

    John Lennon

  • Album:

    Lennon Legend

This is how the song appears on the box set and the Acoustic album. To get a jis
 of the strumming pattern listen to the song a few times.

It's important to note that after the second verse he adds more chords to both
verse and chorus. 

All in all this is a very simple song and quite fun to play.
