Carnival Song by Waylon Jennings
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
Refrão
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
