Watching the Wheels John Lennon
This is how the song appears on the box set and the Acoustic album. To get a jis
of the strumming pattern listen to the song a few times.
It's important to note that after the second verse he adds more chords to both
verse and chorus.
All in all this is a very simple song and quite fun to play.
