[Verse 1]

B            E        B            E
I've got the plow if you've got the furrow
B            E         A                B
I've got the rabbit if you've his burrow home
B            E       B            E
I've got the pen if you've got the paper
B            E               A                 B
Time is but clay and I'll see you and the wheel turn
A               Cmaj7      Asus2
You and the wheel turn


[Chorus]

           Asus2                 B
And if the pot won't hold our love
       Asus2                   B
If the pot won't hold our love
       Asus2                  B
If the pot won't hold our love
           F#m               B
Then we'll dash it to the ground
           Asus2               B
And if the pot won't hold our love
        Asus2                 B
If the pot won't hold our love
        Asus2                 B
If the pot won't hold our love
            F#m                B
We'll build one bigger all around
 E       B      E
Goes the wheel    (repeat intro riff)

[Verse 2]

    B         E      B           E
I've got the seed if you've got the valley
     B           E          A           B
I've got the big stick if you've Aunt Sally's head
     B        E         B         E
I've got the time if you've got the motion
    B         E            A                   B
Time is but clay and I'll see you and the wheel turn
A                 Cmaj7     Asus2
You and the wheel turn


[Chorus]

           Asus2                 B
And if the pot won't hold our love
       Asus2                   B
If the pot won't hold our love
       Asus2                  B
If the pot won't hold our love
           F#m               B
Then we'll dash it to the ground
           Asus2               B
And if the pot won't hold our love
        Asus2                 B
If the pot won't hold our love
        Asus2                 B
If the pot won't hold our love
            F#m                B
We'll build one bigger all around

Maypole
E       B
Maypole
E              G#m7             F#m7               B
Maypole you've spun me round and knocked me off my axis mundi

Maypole
E            G#m7             F#m7             B         Bsus4
Maypole the ties that bind you will unwind to free me one day
                   E    D#   D   C#   Cmaj7   Asus2   E
And everything decays
                   E    D#   D
Yes, everything decays

[Bridge 1]

C#             Cmaj7    Asus2      E
Forest tumbles down to make the soil
                E    D#   D
Planets fall apart
C#               Cmaj7      Asus2        E
Just to feed the stars and stuff their larders
                 F#m          B     E
And what made me think we're any better
                 F#m          B      E
And what made me think we'd last forever
              A     E    F#
Was I so naive?
              F#7      Bsus4    B
Of course it all unweaves

Maypole the ties that bind you will unwind to free me one day
                 E    D#   D
and everything decays

[Bridge 2]

C#       Cmaj7    Asus2      E
Pyramids and palaces to dust
           E     D#    D
Empires crumbling
C#           Cmaj7     Asus2      E
Wedding cake begins to must and molder
                 F#m          B     E
And what made me think we're any better
                 F#m          B      E
And what made me think we'd last forever
              A     E    F#
Was I so naive?
              F#7      Bsus4    Esus4
Failing to perceive
