Big Wheel

	  		Well this is my very first attempt at tabbing so please go easy on me. I am 
 very open to any corrections or suggestions as it will help me improve as I  
tab more. I have included a soundbyte of the song (including vocals) but it  
was done very quickly and without any editing on the computer as I would have  
preferred to do so this is just more-or-less an idea of how to play it. Please  
let me know what you think of the tab and soundbyte. 
 
PS: You will likely have to turn up the volume a fair bit.

Verse 1: 
 D               G 
Three feet tall, five years old 
 D                       G 
Staring to the bottom of mountaintop road 
 D                  G                    D             G 
Hands wrapped tight around those plastic handle grips 
 D                 G 
I took off flying, picking up speed 
 D                      G 
The world was a blur of rocks and weeds 
 D                           G 
It was all worth the pain of landing 
D                G 
Getting my first three stitches 
 
 D       A           G 
Everyone said that I shouldn't do it 
 D      A            G 
Cut and bruised, but I got through it 
 Bm                A        G 
I've still got the scars to prove it. 

 D                       G 
Life's like a big wheel, keeps on turning 
 A                   D       G           D 
Time runs away every day I'm learning to roll with the punches 
 G 
Follow my hunches 
 D         A      G 
Loving the way it feels 
 D      A   G 
Just to be alive 
 Bm          A        G                        D G D G 
Getting the chance to ride on the big wheel
 
 
Verse 2: 
 D                     G 
I've taken my share of dead end curves 
 D                          G 
Had to steady my nerves and steal my courage 
 G 
Had a lot of hard landings 
 G                  D           G 
But I ain't hanging up my wings 
 D                   G 
Ya I'm still ripping down that hill 
 D                    G 
Still hangin' on with all my will 
 D                 G              D               G 
Looking back now I still wouldn't change a thing 
 
 D             A      G 
I've had a few lovers leave their mark 
 D             A              G 
I've broken my pride and I've broken my heart 
 Bm           A        G 
But I'm gonna live the life before it all goes dark 
 
 
 - Repeat Chorus - 
 
 D      A  G 
Just to be alive 
 Bm         A         G 
Getting the chance to ride 
 G 
On the big wheel 
 D                A 
On the big wheel 
 G 
On the big wheel
