Chords

'The Wheel' from the Broadway show Tuck Everlasting Song by Chris Miller and Nathan Tysen Rhythm is a little tricky, but I tried to place chords as accurately as possible [Intro] Eb Bb/D Ab/C (x2) Ebsus [Verse 1]
                               Bb/D
I bet you didn’t know that the sun

                 Ab/C
Took a shine to water 

      Ebsus         Bb/D
She drinks up a bit,

                         Ab/C
And floats it up to the sky 

         Dbsus                    Ab/C
What she takes from our lake will make her a stormcloud

      Bb          Bbsus    Bb5
That rumbles and tumbles rain

        Cm    Eb/G   Fm7 
From up high, high, high 
[Chorus 1]
       Eb    Bb/D  Ab/C
It's a wheel,      Winnie,

                Eb   Bb/D  Ab/C
This journey of ours 

Dbsus  Ab/C     Bbm7       Ab/C
Sun to lake to cloud that showers,

Dbsus     Ab/C   Bb  Cm Ab
Rain back to the lake below 

           Cm    Eb/G     Fm7
And you'll ride that wheel

             Ebsus  Bb/D  Ab/C
Wherever you go 
[Verse 2]
Ebsus                Bb/D
     Not a minute or moment's the same,

    Ab/C
The wheel keeps you guessing 

    Ebsus                Bb/D
And everything around you

                 Ab/C
Is along for the ride,

    Dbsus                    Ab/C
The pond, the bullfrogs, the birch trees, and hound dogs 

     Bb      Bbsus      Bb5     Bb    Bbsus
Plus people, all people ebb and flow

         Cm    Eb/G  Fm7
With the tide, tide, tide 
[Chorus 2]
       Eb    Bb/D  Ab/C
It's a wheel,     Winnie,

             Eb  Bb/D   Ab/C
A ripple in water 

Dbsus  Ab/C     Bbm7       Ab/C
Girl to wife to mother to daughter,

     Dbsus     Ab/C   Bb  Cm      Ab
Like all your kinfolk,   come and gone 

             Cm    Eb/G     Fm7
Can't stop rowing, growing, changing,

            Ab5  Bb5   Ab5  Bb5
Then moving on 
[Bridge]
Ab5            Bb5
Once you drop an anchor,

Ab5            Bb
   A boat gets stuck 

    Ab5              Bb5
And it could stay forever,

Ab5                 Bb5
   Just floating on top 

Ab5            Bb5
Watching life pass it by,

Ab5                 Bb5
   Just floating on top 

Fm7            Eb/G         Bb     Ab   Fm7
Show me how to climb back on the wheel 

         Eb/G              Ab5     Bb5
I'll be there, slick as a slingshot 

   Fm7            Eb/G      Bb   Ab
Prepared to get off at the end,

Fm7               Eb/G       Ab5  Bb5
   And share with someone my spot 

               Ab5             Bb5
You can't have living without dying,

       Ab5            Bb5              Bbsus
So you can't call this living what we got 

         Cm7         Eb/G
We just are, we just be,

     Cm7      Ab
No before, no beyond 

  Cm      Eb/G            Fm7
A rowboat anchored in the middle of a pond 
[Chorus 3]
       Eb    Bb/D  Ab/C
It's a wheel,     Winnie,

             Eb  Bb/D   Ab/C
A ripple in water 

Dbsus  Ab/C     Bbm7       Ab/C
Girl to wife to mother to daughter,

  Dbsus     Ab/C   Bb  Cm      Ab
Like all your kinfolk, come and gone 

           Cm    Eb/G       Fm7
Can't stop rowing, growing, changing,

            Cm   Eb/G   Fm7
Then moving on 

           Cm      Eb/G       Fm7
Can't stop rowing, growing, changing,

            Cm   Eb/G   Fm7
Then moving on 

  Dbsus     Ab/C   Bb  Cm      Ab
Like all your kinfolk, come and gone 

           Cm    Eb/G       Fm7
Can't stop rowing, growing, changing,

            Cm   Eb/G   Fm7
Then moving on 

           Cm      Eb/G       Fm7
Can't stop rowing, growing, changing,

            Cm   Eb/G   Fm7
Then moving on
