Tom: Am
Dm F C
I could have run away with a carnival girl
Dm F C
If were not for my foolish pride
Dm F C
Because under the lights of the Ferris wheel
Dm F C
She promised me every prize
C Am G
Lalalalaaaa lalalalaaaaa
Am C G
There’s not a pretty penny in my old blue jeans
Am C G
I never seem to say quite what I mean
Am C
Well I drink too much and I think too much
G F Am G Am
And I know it sounds absurd but I wouldn’t change for the world
Am G Am
I wouldn’t change for the world
Well I sang for my supper
and I sang for my soul
I sang out across the bay
And I’ve been waiting here for my ship to come in
I know it’ll be here some day
Some day soon lalalalaaaaa
Am C G
There’s not a pretty penny in my old blue jeans
Am C G
I never seem to say quite what I mean
Am C
Well I think too much and I drink too much
G F Am G Am
And I know it sounds absurd but I wouldn’t change for the world
Am G Am
I wouldn’t change for the world
(Solo)
Could have been a carpenter and I could have been a thief
But then again its so hard to say
Cause I sit under the light of the morning sun
and I watch the carnival roll away
Lalala life lalala life
(chorus 1)
