Subject: brecht/Weil - ballad of millwheel
Hi folks,

I'm looking for the chords of this song. A québécois folksinger, Richard Desjardins, sings it in english, with a piano, and I'd like to do it at the guitar. The chorus goes:

still the millwheel turns
it turns forever
to what is uppermost remains not so
the water underneath in vain endeavour
does the work but always stays below

well, I hope it's correct. I think it's from "Three penny opera". I've been able to find chords to "Mack the knife" on the net, but not this one.

Thanks.
