Recommendation if you want an easier chord progression with more of the high

pitches notes:

- Play with capo on 7th, and transpose up to Am in order to keep the correct
Em key.
Chord progressions for this song I find are easier when played high up on the

fretboard, but YMMV.

[Verse 1]
Em Am6
Round, like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
B7 B Em
Never ending or beginning, on an ever spinnin' reel
E7 Am
Like a snowball down a mountain or a carnaval balloon
D7 Gmaj7
Like a carousel that's turning, running rings around the moon
Gmaj7 G Am9 Am
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
B7 A#dim
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
B7 Em9 Em Em7
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind

[Verse 2]
Em7 Am6
Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
B Em7
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone
E7 Am
Like a door that keeps revolving in a half forgotten dream
D7 Gmaj7
Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream
Cmaj7 Am6
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
B7 A#dim
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
B7 Em7
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind
