and the lights all ablaze
A

Maybe it was face with a candy
apple glaze
A
A
E
E
The motorcycle girl put a spell on me
A

the fortune teller said she
E

everything was spinning' and

I wanted to stay

B

to get home Billy?
Did you stay did you stay till you

were there all alone
A

Yeah I stayed till the lights
E

began to grow dim
A
A
My friends had all left,
E
E
I couldn't find them
C#m
C#m
I didn't mind at this time
B
B
cause I didn't think
A
A
C#m
C#m
that the rides would stop and the lights
would quit blinking
or the booths where the men who
B
B
talked through their noses
Verse 3
A
A
Would seal them selves tight , like a
C#m
C#m
rose when it closes
I didn't think that the color
B
B
that was all air
A
A
could disappear so fast and leave
C#m
C#m
nothing there
I never dreamed that the music
B
B
of the calliope
A
A
could change to the noise of of
C#m
C#m
men takin the street
B
B
It all turned so strange , it all went so quick
A
A
The only friend left was the
C#m
C#m
sound of a cricket
B
B
With my fantasy gone it all seems so real
A
A
I was left there to feel , what
C#m
C#m
I didn't want to feel
No one wants to see when it
B
B
comes to the end
A
A
C#m
C#m
The still ferris wheel when it quits spinning
Verse 4
C#m
C#m
no one wants to hear
B
B
the sound is too intense
A
A
When the midway doses and leaves
G#
G#
nothing but silence

Verse 5
Thats when I got scared And
B
B
thought I was lost
A
A
C#m
C#m
Thats when I heard the sword
swallowercough
B
B
I listened like a rabbit and stopped
in a freeze
A
A
That's when I heard a
C#m
C#m
fat man sneeze
There was a light in a trailer
B
B
I crept to the door
A
A
And I pressed my ear close
C#m
C#m
and I tried to hear more
I heard many voices but
B
B
they weren't the kind
A
A
That I'd heard in my life
C#m
C#m
or any other time
at the back of my coat there
B
B
blew a cold wind
A
A
That's when the Siamese
C#m
C#m
twins took me in
B
B
the people inside I couldn't believe
A
A
They weren't like the kind
C#m
C#m
that you see in the street
They brushed off my hat
B
B
and dusted my coat
A
A
And offered me milk that
C#m
C#m
came from a goat
B
B
I liked em at once , They treated me good
A
A
So I told em my story like I
G#
G#
thought I should

Verse 7
I told em how different that
B
B
the midway feels
A
A
C#m
C#m
When the lights go out on the ferris wheel
and I said to him how you must
B
B
feel all alone
A
A
C#m
C#m
when the music quits to call it your home
Verse 8
C#m
C#m
B
B
The tattooed man looked at me in the face
A
A
And said we couldn't feel
C#m
C#m
right in any other place
B
B
We will be here til the day we die
A
A
when I understand I had a
C#m
C#m
tear in my eye
I knew this was true
B
B
and though it seemed lonely
A
A
C#m
C#m
It was made for them and them only
B
B
I left them there holding bak the tears
A
A
And told them I had hoped that I'd
C#m
C#m
see them next year
They laughed and said you
B
B
A
A
C#m

can bet on that
They all gathered around the
B

trailer house steps

A little I walked than i did before
A
A
C#m
C#m
A little older I walked But I knew
much more
B
B
Maybe next year if any older I look
A
A
I'll run away from home and become
C#m
C#m
the fat mans cook
B
B
The world is so strange my mother dear
A
A
It's really a wonder how
C#m
C#m
we all got here
B
B
A
A
Once i thought I was in my place when I was
C#m
C#m
just a babe lookin in your face
But now for some reason people
B
B
have given me doubt
A
A
It seems some are locked in and
C#m
C#m
some are locked out

C#m
The world is so strange I
B
B
can't comprehend
A
A
The one who wants freedom
C#m
C#m
are the very ones locked in
and why does it seem that
B
B
ones who don't care
A
A
Breathe in without gratitude
C#m
C#m
and the wild free air
B
B
My innocence has left by the same
door it came
A
A
C#m
C#m
and never again will i ever be the same
B

But I'll never forget as long as I live
A

To be grateful to stranglers who
G#

ain't afraid to give
