C            G/B
   I run the carousel
F5                G5
   With horses and tinkerbell
C          G/B    F       F9
Late night by the canal
C               G/B
   You wouldn't notice me
F5         G5
   I have a tendency
   C     G/B          F       F9
To blend     with the music

          C/E
I run the carousel
B/E - C/E     B/E - C/E
Eb/E - D/E - C#/E - B/E - C/E
B/E - C/E     B/E - C/E
Eb/E - D/E - C#/E - B/E

C           G/B
   Children swirl around
F5                 G5
   Like drapes in a summertown
C        G/B          F       F9
Husbands kindle their wives
C               G/B
   Sometimes it tortures me
F5                 G5
   The envy and the jealousy
C        G/B   F       F9
   But I never panic
   
          C/E
I run the carousel
B/E - C/E     B/E - C/E     B/E - C/E
G     F# - G     F# - G     F# - G
          C/E
I run the carousel
B/E - C/E     B/E - C/E     B/E - C/E
G     F# - G     F# - G     F# - G
          Am7
I run the carousel
Abm7 - Am7     Abm7 - Am7
Cm7 - Bm7 - Bbm7 - Abm7 - Am7
Abm7 - Am7     Abm7 - Am7     Abm7 - Am7

C                     G/B
   Sometimes when the birds fly over
F5                     G5
I look up, but I don't want to go nowhere
      C             G/B           F      F9
I got lives to save     under the open
C              G/B
   I live as a mystery man
F5                  G5
   And I sleep in a caravan
C        G/B       F      F9
   And I love everybody

(Chorus: Same as the second chorus above)
(Then transitions to G#7M section)
