Windmills of Your Mind
Noel Harrison
Intro: [Em] [B7] [Em]
Round, like a circle in a spiral, Like a wheel within a [B7] wheel
Never ending or beginning On an ever spinning [Em] reel
Like a snowball down a [E7] mountain Or a carnival bal[Am7]loon
Like a carousel that's [D7] turning, Running rings around the [Gmaj7] moon
Like a clock whose hands are [Cmaj7] sweeping Past the minutes of its [Am6] face
And the world is like an [B7] apple Whirling silently in [Bbdim] space
Like the circles that you [B7] find
In the windmills of your [Em] mind
Like a tunnel that you follow To a tunnel of its [B7] own
Down a hollow to a cavern Where the sun has never [Em] shone
Like a door that keeps revol[E7]ving In a half-forgotten [Am7] dream
Or the ripples from a [D7] pebble Someone tosses in a [Gmaj7] stream
Like a clock whose hands are [Cmaj7] sweeping
Past the minutes of its [Am6] face
And the world is like an [B7] apple Whirling silently in [Bbdim] space
Like the circles that you [B7] find
In the windmills of your [Em] mind
Keys that jingle in your pocket, Words that jangle in your [Am7] head
Why did summer go so [D7] quickly? Was it something that you [Gmaj7] said?
Lovers walk along the [G7] shore And leave their footprints in the [Cmaj7] sand
Is the sound of distant [F#7] drumming Just the fingers of your [Bm] hand?
Pictures hanging in a [E7] hallway And the fragment of a [Am] song
Half-remembered names and [D7] faces, But to whom do they be[Gmaj7]long?
When you knew that it was [Cmaj7] over, You were suddenly [Am6] aware
That the autumn leaves were [B7] turning To the colour of her [Em]hair
A circle in a spiral, A wheel within a [B7] wheel
Never ending or beginning On an ever spinning [Bbdim] reel
As the images un[Em]wind,
Like the circles that you [B7] find
In the windmills of your [Em] mind
Like the circles that you [B7] find
In the windmills of your [Em] mind
