Intro: C Em F Em Dm G F C
C Em
Well the drunken clown still hanging 'round
F Em Dm
But it's plain the laughters all died down
G F C
The tears you tried so hard to hide are flowing
C Em
And a blind man with his knife in hand
F Em Dm
Has convinced himself that he understands
G G
I wish him well, miss Carousel
F C
But I gotta be a going
Am Em
Won't you come and get me when
Am Em
You're sure that you don't need me then
Am Em
I'll stand outside your window
F Em G
And proudly call your name
C Em
Well the lady's been told that all her gold
F Em Dm
Is worth so much she can't be sold
G F C
No time to weep, she'll later sleep tomorrow
C Em
When she carries her face to the market place
F Em Dm
And bets it on the open enrage
G G
She can ring her bells, miss Carousel
F C
But this singing brings me sorrow
Am Em
Won't you come and get me when
Am Em
You're sure that you don't need me then
Am Em
I'll stand outside your window
F Em G
And proudly call your name
C Em
But it's always done, every mothers sun
F Em Dm
Is surely grown, and never run
G F C
So they fight with all their might inside them
C Em
When the battles been fought 'n they all been taught
F Em Dm
That the trick is just not being caught
G G
Will you give 'em hell, miss Carousel
F C
When they're begging you to hide them
Am Em
Won't you come and get me when
Am Em
You're sure that you don't need me then
Am Em
I'll stand outside your window
F Em G
And proudly call your name
C Em
When they need a rose, your eyes felt closed
F Em Dm
You clamped your fingers around your nose
G F C
Would you say, that's anyway to judge him
C Em
Well you haven't got the authority
F Em Dm
Too kill him in the first degree
G G
But would you feel compelled, miss Carousel
F C
If you had something to regret in
Solo Am Em Am Em Am Em F Em G
C Em
On velvet beach far beneath the reach
F Em Dm
Of those who come to pray and preach
G F C
The natural man that tried to stand is falling
C Em
Well how long will it be before he sees
F Em Dm
You own his legs but his mind is free
G G
Only you can tell , miss Carousel
F C
How long will he be crawling
Am Em
Won't you come and get me when
Am Em
You're sure that you don't need me then
Am Em
I'll stand outside your window
F Em G
And proudly call your name
C Em
All the castle walls grown so tall
F Em Dm
Seems there ain't no hope at all
G F C
To reach the top even though you stopped for breathing
C Em
But I ain't gonna try to make you cry
F Em Dm
The teardrops couldn't find your eyes
G G
It's all been swell, miss Carousel
F C
But the time has come for leaving
Am Em
Won't you come and get me when
Am Em
You're sure that you don't need me then
Am Em
I'll stand outside your window
F Em G
And proudly call your name
Am Em
Won't you come and get me when
Am Em
You're sure that you don't need me then
Am Em
I'll stand outside your window
F Em G
And proudly call your name
