Well this is my very first attempt at tabbing so please go easy on me. I am
very open to any corrections or suggestions as it will help me improve as I
tab more. I have included a soundbyte of the song (including vocals) but it
was done very quickly and without any editing on the computer as I would have
preferred to do so this is just more-or-less an idea of how to play it. Please
let me know what you think of the tab and soundbyte.
PS: You will likely have to turn up the volume a fair bit.

Verse 1:
D G
Three feet tall, five years old
D G
Staring to the bottom of mountaintop road
D G D G
Hands wrapped tight around those plastic handle grips
D G
I took off flying, picking up speed
D G
The world was a blur of rocks and weeds
D G
It was all worth the pain of landing
D G
Getting my first three stitches
D A G
Everyone said that I shouldn't do it
D A G
Cut and bruised, but I got through it
Bm A G
I've still got the scars to prove it.
D G
Life's like a big wheel, keeps on turning
A D G D
Time runs away every day I'm learning to roll with the punches
G
Follow my hunches
D A G
Loving the way it feels
D A G
Just to be alive
Bm A G D G D G
Getting the chance to ride on the big wheel
Verse 2:
D G
I've taken my share of dead end curves
D G
Had to steady my nerves and steal my courage
G
Had a lot of hard landings
G D G
But I ain't hanging up my wings
D G
Ya I'm still ripping down that hill
D G
Still hangin' on with all my will
D G D G
Looking back now I still wouldn't change a thing
D A G
I've had a few lovers leave their mark
D A G
I've broken my pride and I've broken my heart
Bm A G
But I'm gonna live the life before it all goes dark
- Repeat Chorus -
D A G
Just to be alive
Bm A G
Getting the chance to ride
G
On the big wheel
D A
On the big wheel
G
On the big wheel
(ad lib to end)
