[Intro]
F#m Em
The carnival man with the sickly grey suit
D F#m
Beat his black stick on the ground
F#m Em
To the sound of the wagons, the sound of the horses
D F#m
We move on to the next broken town
 
[Chorus]
D Bm
Well I was a wagon involved in this journey
D F#m
The dust and the sand will bow down to me
D Bm
And just like preachers screaming to God
F#m Bm
Mice on tail were crushed to the ground
 
[Outro]
Bm F#m Bm
Still onward I marched and upward I rode
F#m Bm
To the sound of the sweet flowing river
