Sometimes The Wheels

Tabbed by: Steve L 
Tuning: Standard, no capo (although I've seen him play it with  
Capo on 1st fret) 

Notes: 
My 1st tab! 
Love the song and couldn't find a tab so did this myself. 
The picking needs to be pretty quick and fluid. 
The picking for the verse/Chorus is pretty much the same, follow the chords on the lyrics. 
The (0) is optional on the verse, sometimes played, sometimes not. 
The C/G chord when picking is your C shape and hitting the G note on the bottom E string. 
If you were strumming this would be a quick G chord.

C 
Knock on the door - it's early morning 
Am                   C/G                 F 
Man in a suit says - he wants to talk to me 
          C/G   C           C/G      F 
About the big J-C - who the f*ck is he 

C 
Reach in his bag and he takes out a bible 
Am                       C/G            F 
Says he was a man - just like you and me 
C/G        C                F           C 
Woo pee dee 

F                         C 
I don't like his suit and I don't like his tie 
        Am                         G                F 
And I don't like the fact he's so happy coming for me 
    C/G   C 
The big J-C 



F                          C 
Sometimes the wheels fall off 
F                           C 
And sometimes you can't get up 
F                     C                         G 
And sometimes I just sit and think and I don't talk much 
F                       C 
No I don't think much 


F                          C 
Sometimes the world moves fast 
F                           C 
And sometimes you can't keep up 
F                     C                         G 
And sometimes I just sit and think and I don't think much 
      F                 C       G 
No I don't think much 
      F                 C       G 
No I don't think much 
      F                 C       G       F       C       G       C 
No I don't think much 

C/G 
Boy on a pavement looks at a picture 
Am                                            F 
It looks like the eighties - why did it happen to me 
                C        F              C 
Twice in a lifetime now -   Twice in a lifetime more 


C/G 
Teenage years try-na not look like 
                Am              F               C 
somebody like him - but what can I do? 

C                  F                            C 
Shoulder pads and belts, Morten Harket in tights 
                        F                       C 
Oh, Im sorry theyre jeans, how did ya get them on? 
                     F                          C 
Will they ever come off? Will they ever come off?
