Windmills Of Your Mind Uke tab by Noel Harrison

Em  B7  Em


Round, like a circle in a spiral,
                      B7
like a wheel within a wheel

Never ending or beginning
                    Em
on an ever spinning reel
                       E7
Like a snowball down a mountain
                Am7
or a carnival balloon
                        D7
Like a carousel that's turning,
                         Gmaj7
running rings around the moon
                             Cmaj7
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
                        Am6
past the minutes of its face
                         B7
And the world is like an apple
                     Bbdim
whirling silently in space
                          B7
Like the circles that you find
                         Em
in the windmills of your mind


Like a tunnel that you follow
                   B7
to a tunnel of its own

Down a hollow to a cavern
                        Em
where the sun has never shone
                           E7
Like a door that keeps revolving
                    Am7
in a half-forgotten dream
                      D7
Or the ripples from a pebble
                    Gmaj7
someone tosses in a stream
                             Cmaj7
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
                        Am6
past the minutes of its face
                         B7
And the world is like an apple
                     Bbdim
whirling silently in space
                          B7
Like the circles that you find
                         Em
in the windmills of your mind


Keys that jingle in your pocket,
                          Am7
words that jangle in your head
                     D7
Why did summer go so quickly?
                          Gmaj7
Was it something that you said?
                      G7
Lovers walk along the shore
                                  Cmaj7
and leave their footprints in the sand
                        F#7
Is the sound of distant drumming
                         Bm
just the fingers of your hand?
                      E7
Pictures hanging in a hallway
                      Am
and the fragment of a song
                          D7
Half-remembered names and faces,
                      Gmaj7
but to whom do they belong?
                          Cmaj7
When you knew that it was over,
                   Am6
you were suddenly aware
                            B7
That the autumn leaves were turning
                     Em
to the colour of her hair

A circle in a spiral,
                 B7
a wheel within a wheel

Never ending or beginning
                    Bbdim
on an ever spinning reel
                Em
As the images unwind,
                          B7
like the circles that you find
                         Em
in the windmills of your mind
