Chords
pin

1st verse:
           G                    C                       G
There's a house on a hill by a worn down weathered old mill

               D
In the vally bellow where the river winds

                               G
There's no such thing as bad times

                              C                  G
And a soft southern flame oh Cotton Jenny's her name
                                                                            D
She wakes me up when the sun goes down 

                             G
and the wheel of love goes round


Chorus:     
                    C            G
Wheels of love go round love go round
           
         A               D
Love go round  a joyful sound
           
         G               C               D
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend but then
           
              G   C G
The wheels go round  


2nd verse:
        G                    C                 G
Then a new day begins I go down to the cotton gin

                D                                           
And I make my time worthwhile to them 

                      G
then I climb back up again

                              C                G
And she waits by the door oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore

                 D                                            
And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down and the wheel of 

            G
love goes round


Chorus:
                    C            G
Wheels of love go round love go round
           
         A               D
Love go round a joyful sound
           
         G               C               D
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend but then
           
              G   C G
The wheels go round  


3rd verse:
        G                          C                  G 
In the hot sickly south when they say "well shut my mouth"
                                                                               D
I can never be free from the cotton grind 

                         G
but I know I got what's mine

                               C                  G
With a soft southern flame oh Cotton Jenny's her name

             D   
She wakes me up when the sun goes down  

                            G
and the wheel of love goes round

Chorus:
                    C            G
Wheels of love go round love go round
           
         A               D
Love go round a joyful sound
           
         G               C               D
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend but then
           
              G   C G
The wheels go round  

 G          C G                C G        C G
Wheel go round      round & round   mmm mmmm
