Taking The Wheel by Joshua Burnside & Laura Quirke Taking The Wheel Tuning:E A D G B E Capo:4th fret [Chords] G A11 D|--3-----5----| B|--3-----5----| G|--0-----0----| D|--0-----0----| A|--2-----4----| E|--3-----5----| These two chords are played back and forth throughout the entire song, playing the strumming pattern twice before switching chords. The only extra bit to learn is the hammer on that you play on the second go through of each chord. If you listen or watch Laura play you should be able to figure it out pretty easily but heres an example: The arrows show the direction to strum. First go around without hammer on: ↓ ↓ ↑ ↑ ↓ ↑ G G G G G G D|--3---3--3----3--3--3 B|--3---3--3----3--3--3 G|--0---0--0----0--0--0 D|--0---0--0----0--0--0 A|--2---2--2----2--2--2 E|--3---3--3----3--3--3 Second go around with hammer on: ↓ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ G G G G G G D|--3---3--3----3--3--3 B|--3---3--3----3--3--3 G|--0---0--0----0--0--0 D|--0---0--0----0--0--0 A|--0---0-h2----2--2--2 E|--3---3--3----3--3--3 This is the exact same pattern for the A11 chord (G moved up 2 frets). I also think she just hammers on without an upward strum but you can also just keep to the basic pattern and strum up. [Intro] G A11 x4 [Verse 1] G Sarah sits in the passenger seat and A11 Ponders the thought of taking the wheel, G Being more than indulged or humoured navigation, A11 The comfort of feeling as though she's directing. [Chorus] G Gesturing left and gesturing right, A11 Turn around down here, G Pull in at the side of the road. A11 There's something you need to know. [Verse 2] G The two of them there sitting side by side, A11 David driving and Sarah beside. G The splashing rain on the window screen, A11 The straining drain of nature's spleen. [Chorus] G Gesturing left and gesturing right, A11 Turn around down here, G Pull in at the side of the road. A11 There's something you need to know. [Verse 3] G David dares his eyes to glance over, A11 But can already feel the heat rising off her. G Condensation closing in, A11 Makes it hard to see the road in front of him. [Chorus] G Gesturing left and gesturing right, A11 Turn around down here, G Pull in at the side of the road. A11 There's something you need to know. [Bridge] G A11 Aaaaaaahhh G A11 Aaaaahhhhh G A11 AAAAaaahh G A11 Ah Ahhhhh [Verse 4] G Saved by the radio once again, A11 A song comes on to take them out of there skin, G And in love now as they listen to words, A11 That others have sung so that they don't have to. [Chorus] G Gesturing left and gesturing right, A11 The hum of the engine, a hum womb-like. G Daring feet upon the dashboard speak, A11 G A11 G A sweet desire for more, ...rotting away from the core. A11 [Bridge] G A11 Aaaaaaahhh G A11 Aaaaahhhhh G A11 AAAAaaahh G A11 Ah Ahhhhh [Verse 5] G David resigns to indicate, A11 And the engine cuts at the edge of a lake. G The song is reaching its final refrain, A11 Their only wish is for it to remain. [Bridge] G A11 G ...Playing again and again A11 [Chorus] G Gesturing left and gesturing right, A11 Turn around down here, G Pull in at the side of the road. A11 There's something you need to know. G Gesturing left and gesturing right, A11 Turn around down here, G Pull in at the side of the road. A11 There's something you need to know. G Gesturing left and gesturing right, A11 Turn around down here, G Pull in at the side of the road. A11 There's something you need to know. ------------
