Carnival Song

Verse 1 : A E now i’ve been quite the traveler F#m C#m ever since i hit the road D A and the sullen county carnival D E has been my earn in gold Verse 2 : A E i’ve been quite alone F#m C#m since i remember when D A i turned my ultimatums D E A into chips and cashed them in Verse 3 : A E i used to run the ferris wheel F#m C#m but that’d be hard to prove D A i can’t stand to see a rolling wheel D E propped up so it can’t move Verse 4 : A E i used to run the carousel F#m C#m hell , that’s just round and round D A i never liked to see them ponies D E A painted up and bolted down refrao A E F#m D the only thing that keeps me from stayin’ here is leavin’ A E F#m D the only thing that saves me from it all is i’ll be gone A E F#m D just when i could trust in all the things that i believe in A E F#m i had to pack it up and move along D E A and i’ll tell you the boys i’m not the only one Verse 5 : A E i was a straight man at the ring toss F#m C#m but that was just a jaunt D A i can’t see throwin’ rings around D E things you don’t really want Verse 6 : A E i could run the roller coaster F#m C#m but that might break my heart D A so much hard travelin’ D E A just to wind up where you start Verse 7 : A E now i just work the gateway F#m C#m and i’m pretty satisfied D A my little booth is red and blue D E and i just sit inside Verse 8 : A E i just take your money F#m C#m and give tickets out in trade D A think about my life D E A and all the promises i made Chorus bis : A E F#m D the only thing that keeps me from stayin’ here is leavin’ A E F#m D the only thing that saves me from it all is i’ll be gone A E F#m D just when i could trust in all the things that i believe in A E F#m i had to pack it up and move along D E F#m and i’ll tell you the boys i’m not the only one D E A who’s runnin’ from the things he’s left undone
