Biography:
James Keelaghan is a Juno award-winning Canadian folk singer-songwriter born in Calgary, Alberta, now based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Many of his songs, such as "Kiri's Piano", about the interment of Japanese Canadians, "October 70", about the FLQ crisis, are inspired by events and figures in Canadian history. Known for his lilting baritone voice, his driving rhythm guitar, and a keen sense of scene and narrative, Keelaghan’s music bridges traditional folk music with Canadiana.

James Keelaghan - Turn Of The Wheel
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C Am F (2x) C
Am F
I don't know, but I've been told
C
This world was shaped from unformed matter
Am F
Back when chaos reigned supreme
Dm
You and I were widely scattered
F C
Something coalesced from the universe's void
G C
Nothing was created, no, nothing was destroyed
F C
All you see around you leads to something else reformed
G
A steady state of matter, is said to be the norm
CHORUS:
C G C
But wait for a turn of the wheel
G C G
Wait for a turn of the wheel
C Am F
Reform and revolution are almost the same
The heart of flame, the vital spark
C Am
The engine that propels the state
F Dm
The voice that speaks out of the dark
F C
Martin Luther wrote a paper he nailed it to the door
G C
Rosa Parks took her seat, she couldn't take it anymore
F C
Galileo set the sun at the centre of the stage
G
The things we never challenge are the things that never change
CHORUS:
C G C
But wait for a turn of the wheel
G C G
Wait for a turn of the wheel
C Am F
Now I know this seems crazy, it's a paradox
C
Change is constant, never-ending
Am
Sometimes effects outweigh the cause
F Dm
The jury's out and the judgment's pending
F C
Maybe things are different from what you thought you saw
G C
It isn't quite an axiom, it isn't quite a law
F C
Fortunes often rise and often they will fall
G
But somehow there will be a balance in it all
CHORUS:
C G C
If you wait for a turn of the wheel
G C
Wait for a turn of the wheel
G C
Wait for a turn of the wheel
G C
Wait for a turn of the wheel
G C
Wait for a turn of the wheel
G C
Wait for a turn of the wheel
