Intro:

G            Dm7
 Rolling the ball,
G            Dm7
 Rolling the ball,
G            Dm7      C
 Rolling the ball, to me.

G            Dm7
 Rolling the ball,
G            Dm7
 Rolling the ball,
G            Dm7      C
 Rolling the ball, to me.

Verse 1:

C             G
 They arrived at,
         F
An incon-venient time,
C      G
 I was hiding in,
  F
A room in my mind.
C
 They made me,
G           D
 Look at my-self;
  A
I saw it well.
F             E
 I'd shut the people,
       A
Out of my life.

Verse 2:

C         G
 So now I take,
          F
The oppor-tunities;
C          G
 Wonderful teachers,
F
 Ready to teach me.
C            G
 I must work on my mind,
D          A
 For now I realise;
F      G
 Every-one of us,
E             A
 Has a heaven inside.

Chorus 1:

G           F
 Them heavy people,
    C       Dm
Hit me in a soft spot,
G           F           Dm
 Them heavy people help me.
G           F
 Them heavy people,
    C       Dm
Hit me in a soft spot.

Bridge 1:

G            Dm7
 Rolling the ball,
G            Dm7
 Rolling the ball,
G            Dm7      C
 Rolling the ball, to me.

G            Dm7
 Rolling the ball,
G            Dm7
 Rolling the ball,
G            Dm7      C
 Rolling the ball, to me.

Verse 3:

C          G
 They open doorways,
       F
That I thought,
Were shut for good.
C
 They read me,
G          F
 Gurdjieff and Jesu.
C              G
 They build up my body;
D           A
 Break me e-motionally.
F            G
 It's nearly killing me,
E                  A
 But what a lovely feeling!

Verse 4:

C           G
 I love the whirling,
       F
Of the dervishes,
C           G
 I love the beauty,
   F
Of rare innocence.
C
 You don't need,
   G
No crystal ball;
D
 Don't fall for,
  A
A magic wand.
F          G
 We humans got it all;
E               A
 We perform the miracles.

Chorus 2:

G           F
 Them heavy people,
    C       Dm
Hit me in a soft spot,
G           F           Dm
 Them heavy people help me.
G           F
 Them heavy people,
    C       Dm
Hit me in a soft spot.
