[INTRO] (by Horns)
|NC | | |
If your
[VERSE 1]
|Am |Am/C |Bdim7 |Bdim7/D |
memory serves you well, we were going to meet again and wait. So, I'm
|E | |F Dm |Am |
going to unpack all my things and sit before it gets too late. An' no
|C |Am |C |Am |
man alive will come to you with another tale to tell but you
|C |Am |F Dm |Am |
know, that we shall meet again, if your memory serves you well.
[CHORUS]
|Dm |F |C |G | |
This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road. Just
|C G |F C |F G |A | |
notify my next of kin:'This wheel shall explode!' If your
[VERSE 2]
|Am |Am/C |Bdim7 |Bdim7/D |
memory serves you well, I was going to confiscate your lace and
|E | |F Dm |Am |
tie it up into a knot and hide it in my case. But if I
|C |Am |C |Am |
knew for sure, that it was yours, and it was oh so hard to tell but you
|C |Am |F Dm |Am |
know, that we shall meet again, if your memory serves you well.
[CHORUS]
|Dm |F |C |G | |
This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road. Just
|C G |F C |F G |A | |
notify my next of kin:'This wheel shall explode!'
[BRIDGE] (Instrumental)

If your
[VERSE 3]
|Am |Am/C |Bdim7 |Bdim7/D |
memory serves you well, you'll remember, that you're the one who
|E | |F Dm |Am |
called on me to call on them to get you your favors done and
|C |Am |C |Am |
after every plan had failed and there was nothing more to tell but you
|C |Am |F Dm |Am |
know, that we shall meet again if your memory serves you well.
[CHORUS]
|Dm |F |C |G | |
This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road. Just
|C G |F C |F G |A | |
notify my next of kin:'This wheel shall explode!'

SOME COMMENTS:
The lyrics on the first line of Verse 3 were checked from the original
studio recording.
For the Am/C and Bdim7/D listen to the bass line.
An easy way to do the Bdim7 is x2010x. It's basically E7 without the
E-notes, givin room for someone else to play the F-note.
