[Verse 1]
E G E
Bright lights, Blind me, And I'm whisking by the people
E G E
Pushing, rushing, To the organ grinder's music
[Chorus]
E F E F
And my eyes are running, And my legs are aching
E F E A D G C F Bb A Am
And there's people winning, And the carnival's spinning
[Interlude]
E Bb B F x4

[Verse 2]
E G E
Merry - go round, Go round and they make me dizzy
E G E
People - shouting, As they shoot and win an ashtray
[Chorus]
E F E F
And my head is breakin', And my ears are splitting
E F E A D G C F Bb A Am
And my hair is thinning, And the carnival's spinning
[Bridge]
Am
After the people have gone, I walk alone down sideshow alley
Am
And from a tent I hear some crying, The sound of someone in pain
Am
And written brightly on the canvas and woodwork, So that everybody would see
Am F G Em Am
Was the question they pose to the public, "When is a man not a man? When he's a freak in a sideshow"
F Am F Am F Am
But we've all got to cry, Yes we all got to cry, And we've all got to cry
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
E G E
Bright lights, Blind me, And I'm whisking by the people
E G E
Pushing - rushing, To the organ grinder's music
[Chorus]
E F E F
And my eyes are running, And my legs are achy
E F E A D G C F Bb Em Am
And there's people crying, And the carnival's dying
