Noel Harrison (born 29 January 1934, in London; died October 2013 in Devon) was an English singer, actor and Olympic athlete. He was the son of British actor Sir Rex Harrison. In 1968 he recorded "The Windmills of Your Mind", the theme tune from the film The Thomas Crown Affair, which won that year's Academy Award for Best Original Song. In June 2011, Harrison played Glastonbury Festival's "Spirit of '71" stage, marking 40 years since his appearance at the second staging of the then new festival.

Round, like a circle in a spiral, B7 like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning Em on an ever spinning reel E7 Like a snowball down a mountain Am7 or a carnival balloon D7 Like a carousel that's turning, Gmaj7 running rings around the moon
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Am6 past the minutes of its face B7 And the world is like an apple Bbdim whirling silently in space B7 Like the circles that you find Em in the windmills of your mind
[Verse 2]
Like a tunnel that you follow B7 to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern Em where the sun has never shone E7 Like a door that keeps revolving Am7 in a half-forgotten dream D7 Or the ripples from a pebble Gmaj7 someone tosses in a stream
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Am6 past the minutes of its face B7 And the world is like an apple Bbdim whirling silently in space B7 Like the circles that you find Em in the windmills of your mind
[Verse 3]
Keys that jingle in your pocket, Am7 words that jangle in your head D7 Why did summer go so quickly? Gmaj7 Was it something that you said? G7 Lovers walk along the shore Cmaj7 and leave their footprints in the sand F#7 Is the sound of distant drumming Bm just the fingers of your hand? E7 Pictures hanging in a hallway Am and the fragment of a song D7 Half-remembered names and faces, Gmaj7 but to whom do they belong? Cmaj7 When you knew that it was over, Am6 you were suddenly aware B7 That the autumn leaves were turning Em to the colour of her hair
A circle in a spiral, B7 a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning Bbdim on an ever spinning reel Em As the images unwind, B7 like the circles that you find Em in the windmills of your mind
