Capo 2 

        D5                                    G5 
I'm the star of captain midnight's travelin' show 
     D5                          G5 
Came to this circus many moons ago 
   G5                            D5                  G5 
My mother's in your storybooks, she loved a jungle king 
D5                             A5 
Left me standin' here alone inside the center ring 

In a bamboo cage I crossed the ragin' sea 

A livin' page torn clean from history 

A hairy, scary, legendary screamin' souvenir 

Now don't you come too close to me, don't you come too near 

: 
        G5                  D5  
I'm the wild man from Borneo 
    F#5                G5 
The wild man from Borneo 
    D5                    A5  
You come to see what you wanna see 
        G5                                 D5  
Ah, you come to see but you never come to know  


The tattooed lady left the circus train 
Lost all of her pictures in the rain. 
I wonder if you're happy, i wonder if you're free 
I wonder if you'll ever know the mark you left on me. 

Chorus 

We come to see what we want to see, 
Oh, we come to see, but we never come to knowa
