Catherine's Wheel
View chords used in this chart
Em
Like a shot from the dark
G
In the silence of night
C
Down the black boulevard
Am
Come the blinding headlights
Em
If it isn't the hit
G
It's the thrill of the chase
C
You've got to admit
Am
It's a hell of a place
[Refrão]G
But when she turns
B
How she sparkles and burns
Em
And I am bound by her spell
Am
I'm tied to her carousel
D
Like shooting stars
G
That scratch away at the dark
C
I know that my fate is sealed4
Am
On Catherine's wheel
Em
So look down the tracks
G
See how far you've come
C
There's no turning back
Am
The deal is done
Take hold of the rail
It's a heart-stopping ride
The sparks fall like hail
As she draws me inside
(REPEAT Chorus)
Oh, the record goes round
The needle goes down
On a forgotten sound
(REPEAT Chorus x 2)
