The Wonder Of It All

verse 1 B E Candy spun in little clouds B That melted as it touched his mouth E Made him want to smile out loud B F# Laughter in the taste E A spinning wheel that stood so high B Many splendored code of lights F# Carried him right to the sky E B And took his breath a-way B And Ruby did her dance again B And the way she danced entranced the men B And left their minds entangled in E B The fever of desire B Upon the stage her mama sat B The billboard said two tons of fat - yeah B Slightly to the right of that E B Oh her daddy swallowed fire - yes he did verse 2 B A tattooed man stood tall and thin B His life engraved upon his skin B From birth to death and back again E B And some wishes left unfilled - uh hmm B A flipping twisting acrobat B A midget with a magic hat B A world of fantasy and fact E B Where the laughter overspills E Lord the wonder was unspeakable B And too much to take in all at once E B Too much is often worser than too little F# Sometimes E He just sat there in his daddy's truck B Deaf and dumb and thunderstruck F# The wonder of it all E B Was almost too much for his mind verse 3 B Now the march of time has slowed his pace B And the child is gone now from his face B And with his grandson in his place E B He remembers other times B He marveled at the barker's call B And the decorated canvas wall B And the gamble wonder of it all E B Echoes clearly in his mind E Candy spun in little clouds B That melted as it touched his mouth E Made him want to smile out loud B F# Laughter in the taste E A spinning wheel that stood so high B Many splendored code of lights F# Carried him right to the sky E B And took his breath away - ah ah ah - ah ah ah - ah ah ah Outro N.C.
