Heart Like a Wheel - guitar chords and comments

Lyrics without distraction HERE

One of my favourits, from the debut album "Kate & Anna McGarrigle", 1976. Linda Ronstadt made it more famous than the McSisters. Originally a piano tune, like most McGarrigles', but slow and distinct 4/4 rythm makes it suitable for guitar, too.
Belongs to "chicken skin", not party music.

C                    G
some say a heart is just like a wheel
          Em               Am
when you bend it you can't mend it
       Dm       Dm/C           G6       G7
and my love for you is like a sinking ship
        Dm7               Fmaj7           G6 C
and my heart is like that ship out in mid ocean

         Am                 Dm    G7
and it's only love and it's only love
         Dm7            Fmaj7              G6    C
that can wreck a human being and turn him inside out

         Am                 Dm    G7
and it's only love and it's only love
         C     Am           G6 G7 C
and it's only love and it's only love

Dm7

Fmaj7
