Am6           Em
No night to stay in,
      Am6       Em
A bad moon is rising again,
     Am6           G
Dice rolls and you burn,
     Cadd9  B7
Come down I fear,
        E          Am7
As that cold wheel turns.
  Am6         Em
I know what I know,
    Am6           Em
Sad Claude's been sleeping around,
   Am6              G
To stroke the right nerve,
      Cadd9       B7
Who's needs do I serve?
   E                    Am7     Am6
As Catherine's Wheel Turns.

[Chorus]
        G          Cadd9        D
She was always the first to say gone,
G             Cadd9            D
She's got her Catherine Wheels on,
G          Cadd9    Am6       Em
Always the first to say gone.

[Verse 2]
   Am6         Em
Go kindly with him,
       Am6       Em
To his blind apparition,
      Am6          G
Whose face creases up,
     Cadd9    B7
With age gone grey,
         E             Am7    Am6
We'll be back here one day.

[Chorus]
        G          Cadd9        D
She was always the first to say gone,
G             Cadd9            D
She's got her Catherine Wheels on,
G          Cadd9        D
Always the first to say gone,
G             Cadd9        B7
She's got her Catherine Wheels on, Wheels on,

G Cadd9 
D
Catherine Wheels,
G Cadd9 
D
Catherine Wheels,
G Cadd9 
D
Catherine Wheels,

[Verse 3]
D                   G
She's gone vanished in the night,
C                      D
Broke off the logic of life,
                 G
He woke tore the covers back,
C                   D
Found he was empty inside,
                           G
So they were told when the moon would rise,
    C                            D
The best time to leave with your soul,
                   G
She's gone, up towards the light,
C                       D         Dm
Watching her whole life unfold,  ohh
Cadd9             Gm       D
Bruises come up dark.

[Verse 4]
D                 G
So strong was his hold on her,
C                       D
Regarded by some as his slave,
                 G
He spoke as in a strangers tongue,
   C                      D     Dm
To scare us and drive you away, eh
Cadd9            Gm
Bruises come up dark.
