Solomon The Wheel

alright this amazing , beautiful song was originally released on nathaniel’s debut album known as the wheel - desire and dissolving men , but since he no longer performs as such , and still plays the song live , i’ll put it here . artist : the wheel song : solomon album : desire and dissolving men chords used : Em7 [ - 0 - ] Cadd9? [ - 0 - ] g? [ - 0 - - ] [ - 3 - ] [ - 3 - ] [ - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ] [ - 0 - ] [ - 0 - ] [ - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ] i’m not sure of these chord names , [ - 2 - ] [ - 2 - ] [ - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ] but the shapes are correct . [ - 2 - ] [ - 3 - ] [ - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ] [ - 0 - ] [ - 0 - ] [ - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ] this has a typical nathaniel strum pattern . using the thumb , on the down strokes of the bass notes , and lightly picking the upstroke with the index and ring finger .
