            I did this by ear; hopefully it's correct.  If you want to play the version from 
his album, "Acoustic," put a capo on the second fret.

Possibly uncommon chord shapes.

Watching the Wheels

C/G                   Fmaj7/C               C/G
People say I'm crazy         doing what I'm doing
                                       Fmaj7/C               C/G
Well they give me all kinds of warnings      to save me from ruin
Fmaj7/C         Dm                 G
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Fmaj7/C           Dm               G
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game 

C/G                 Fmaj7/C               C/G
People say I'm lazy        dreaming my life away
C/G                                  Fmaj7/C         C/G
Well they give me all kinds of advice       designed to enlighten me
       Fmaj7/C            Dm                  G
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Fmaj7/C            Dm                     G                    E note
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball 

F        G                         C                   Am
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
F        C/E                    D7sus2    C6/9                    
I really love to watch them roll
G         G7            Am        Am/G   D7/F#   F
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
     Fm7                  C/G  Fmaj7/C  C/G
I just had to let it go 

C/G                         Fmaj7/C           C/G
Ah, people asking questions        lost in confusion
                                      Fmaj7/C       C/G
Well I tell them there's no problem,         only solutions
          Fmaj7/C                    Dm            G
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
  Fmaj7/C              Dm               G
I tell them there's no hurry   I'm just sitting here doing time 

F        G                         C                   Am
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
F        C/E                    D7sus2    C6/9
I really love to watch them roll
G         G7            Am        Am/G   D7/F#   F
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
       Fm7                C/G  D7/F#  F
I just had to let it go
       Fm7                C/G  D7/F#  F                   
I just had to let it go
       Fm7                C7/G
I just had to let it go
