Carnival Song by Tim Buckley
Carnival Song
Intro:
{Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /}
Ab Gb/Ab
The singer cries for people's lies
Ab Gb/Ab Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /
He will sing for the day to bring him night
Ab Gb/Ab
The circus burns in carnival flame
Ab Gb/Ab Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /
And for awhile you won't know my name at all
Db B Gb E Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /
But sing and dance and love for pennies and gold
The juggling clown smiles to me
And every frown we agree is glad
The nighttime comes to bring the bums
From Bowery heat to crimson streets of wine
But magic lands will nbever touch our sands
Your children smile in single file
They learn mistakes that others make
They see although they cannot know
The needs they'll need to have their greed grow wild
But dance and sing for others bring the shame
Db B Gb E Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /
And for awhile you won't know my name
{Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /} (to fade)
No guitar on this song that I could hear, but this arrangement
is sufficient for guitar. It's in 3/4 time, and it sounds all right
if pluck the bass string on the first beat and strum the chord on beats
2 and 3.
