 Rolling the ball,

 Rolling the ball, to me.

Verse 1:

C#             G#           F#
 They arrived at an incon-venient time,
C#      G#           F#
 I was hiding in a room in my mind.
C#             G#          D#
 They made me look at my-self;
  A#
I saw it well.
F#             F             A#
 I'd shut the people out of my life.

Verse 2:

C#         G#              F#
 So now I take the oppor-tunities;
C#          G#         F#
 Wonderful teachers, ready to teach me.
C#            G#
 I must work on my mind,
D#          A#
 For now I realise;
F#      G#          F            A#
 Fvery-one of us, has a heaven inside.

Chorus 1:

G#           F#
 Them heavy people,
    C#       D#m
Hit me in a soft spot,
G#           F#            D#m
 Them heavy people, help me.
G#           F#
 Them heavy people,
    C#       D#m
Hit me in a soft spot.

 Rolling the ball,

 Rolling the ball, to me.

G#            D#m7
 Rolling the ball,

 Rolling the ball, to me.

Verse 3:

C#          G#
 They open doorways,
       F#
That I thought were shut for good.
C#             G#         F#
 They read me Gurdjieff and Jesu.
C#              G#
 They build up my body;
D#           A#
 Break me e-motionally.
F#            G#
 It's nearly killing me,
F                  A#
 But what a lovely feeling!

Verse 4:

C#           G#               F#
 I love the whirling of the dervishes,
C#           G#         F#
 I love the beauty or rare innocence.
C#                  G#
 You don't need no crystal ball;
D#                 A#
 D#on't fall for a magic wand.
F#          G#
 We humans got it all;
F               A#
 We perform the miracles.

 Them heavy people,

 Them heavy people, help me.
G#           F#
 Them heavy people,
    C#       D#m
Hit me in a soft spot.
