ARTIST: Flogging Molly
SONG: The Spoken Wheel/With A Wonder And A wild Desire
ALBUM: Within A Mile Of Home
TABBER...GUY...THING: Jason Iannone

Since these two tunes basically go together to form one song, 
I figured I'd take care of them both.  It's my first attempt 
at transcribing a song, and King's acoustic can be very hard 
to hear among the noise of all the other instruments, so certain 
parts may suck.  But it sounds more or less right when I play 
it, so here we go:

Capo on 2nd Fret

VERSE 1:

     Am                C
Your passin' broke the silence

        Am     Asus4 Am    C
On that dark October      day

Am                      C
The sun was headin' for the west

          Am    Asus4 Am   C
As it did I heard you     say

  Am                       Em
I set my sail for a gentle breeze

      Am                         Em
Now I leave this world as it was meant to be

    F            Em        F  C       Am
And you, did you listen to anything I said?

F            Em        Am
Did you ever listen to me?

(repeat for Verse 2)

BRIDGE:

Am 
Though the face we wear

          C       
Sometimes seldom speaks

        Am
From the babe that cries

        C
To this grown man's feet

        Am
May the hand still write

         C
And its' heart shape keep

         F                              Am
Till our fathers, sons and daughters agree

(pause for accordion solo: let Am ring)

VERSE 3: (slow pick through first verse)

          C         Em        A(9)
So I will pave this road till glory

         C      Em     A(9)
Sets our broken spirit free

           C            Em         A(9)  Em      
From ev'ry cross-soaked nail pours endless rain

     Em                  E
With tears no eye should see

(repeat once more)

(begin strumming as fast as possible)

CHORUS: 

          C            Em   A(9)
So with a wonder and a wild desire

       C                Em    A(9)
I will crawl from under every weight

       C            Em   A(9)
With a wonder and a wild desire

          Em           A(9)         
Bless the day it was I shared your name

      Em                      A(9)
Yesterday forever speaks your grave

(stop for one beat)

(repeat Verse 3 twice, strumming hard and fast)

(chorus)

(repeat Verse 3)

BRIDGE 2:

     Em                       A(9)
Only time will tell when this rain of hell, 

      C      Em    A(9)
shall wither in defeat

      Em                   A(9)
Separate the bread they forgot to share

         C          Em      A(9)
till the milk still left to feed

            Em              A(9)
Though this body aches then disappeared 

  C      Em          A(9)
into the ground, our seeds

         C                F       Am
He said, "I'd, I'd always comfort thee"

FIDDLE SOLO: Play this over the fiddle:

Em.......Am.......[x3]

Strike E several times

(repeat verse 3)

(chorus twice, end song)
