Intro: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

Gd Ge Gf Ge Gd Ge Gf Ge
G+G
There's a house on a hill
   G+G
By a worn down weathered old mill
         D MajorD
In the valley be-low where the river winds
               G+G
There's no such thing as bad times
G+G
And a soft southern flame
  G+G
Oh Cotton Jenny's her name
         D MajorD
And she wakes me up when the sun goes down
             G+G
And the wheels of love go round

Chorus
C majorC
Wheels of love go round
    A augmentedA
Love go round, love go round
       D MajorD
What a joyful sound
    D MajorD
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
            G+G
But then the wheels go round

Gd Ge Gf Ge Gd Ge Gf Ge
G+G
When the new day begins
   G+G
I go down to the cotton gin
       D MajorD
And I make my time worth while to them
            G+G
Then I climb back up a-gain
G+G
And she waits by the door
  G+G
Oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore
        D MajorD
And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down
             G+G
And the wheels of love go round
C majorC
Wheels of love go round
    A augmentedA
Love go round, love go round
       D MajorD
What a joyful sound
    D MajorD
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
            G+G
But then the wheels go round

Gd Ge Gf Ge Gd Ge Gf Ge
G+G
In the hot, sickly south
     G+G
When they say we'll shut my mouth
        D MajorD
I can never be free from the cotton grind
            G+G
But I know I got what's mine
G+G
She's a soft southern flame
  G+G
Oh Cotton Jenny's her name
       D MajorD
She wakes me up when the sun goes down
             G+G
And the wheels of love go round

Wheels of love go round

Love go round, love go round

I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
            G+G
But then the wheels go round
