Sideshow ? barry biggs / blue *******

Worked out from an old clip of ?top of the pops?.
It seems to be nearly in the key of Db , but they probably played in C then sped the tape up !.

Therefore put CAPO ON FIRST FRET and use open chord voices

Intro = (slowly) C/G/C/D/ (rest , then speed up for the main song)

Intro melody (capo covering first fret = fret numbers are the actual frets on 
guitar, NOT from the capo )
E 1441--44,14468-6-,(rest) 41--
B ----4---,--------,(rest) ?-4-

VERSE 2 ? same chords as first

See the man with the broken heart - You'll see that he is sad

No doubt about it, satisfaction's guaranteed

VERSE 3 ? same chords as first

See the man who's been cryin' for a million years
So many tears (So many tears)
See the girl who's collectin' broken hearts for souvenirs

The saddest little show in all the land

So let the side show begin - Hurry, hurry, step right on in
Can't afford to pass it by - Guaranteed to make you cry
