Carnival is over
Words and music by Michael Seibt

Am              D7      F            Am
Rain is falling down    on my paper-crown
     Am                D7        F                  C
The clown’s make-up is dry, his lips are formed to cry
    Cmaj7             G                   B7             E7
The dancing crowd is gone back home, I’m standing here alone
Am               D7     F            Am    A0-A2
Rain is falling down    on my paper-crown

Refrain
 C          G      C               G
Carnival is over, the old king is gone
     C               G            F           Am    A3-A2
The new one’s yet a’waiting, the show must go on

No-one wants to see the secret the clown keeps
Everyone will miss the music and the bliss
The troubadour is going mad under the fool’s cap
And no-one wants to see the secret the clown keeps

Refrain

At the corner in his puke is lying the court-fool
His last silly joke is ended up in smoke
Blowers of the dutch brass band ‘re searching their instruments
At the corner in his puke is lying the court-fool

Refrain

The rain’s still falling down on my paper-crown
I take all high spirits and bin it bit by bit
I cross myself, confess my sins before they day will begin
Rain’s still falling down on my paper-crown

Refrain

Outro: Am  D7  F  Am
