Version 1
            [Intro]
G  C/G  G7  C/G  x4

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

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

G  C/G  G7  C/G  x2

[Verse]
G
When a new day begins 
     C                  G   
I go down to the cotton gin 
              D
And I make my time worth while to them 
                       G    
Then I climb back up a-gain 
G
And she waits by the door 
   C                G    
Oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore 
                D
And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down 
                           G     
And the wheel of love goes round

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

G  C/G  G7  C/G  x2

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

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

G  C/G  G7  C/G
