Here's Carnival, I think this is one of the 13 better songs on the Motor 
City Ska album (14 if you count the hidden track).

      D5                        B5                      D5 
I've tried it on my own I can't just do it. 
       D5                                    
But now I'm in good hands  
         B5                                          D5 
and I know He'll see me through it. 
D5                                   B5                       D5 
If you can't say this get a piece of the rock. 
          D5

Many times in life I say you're gonna take a lickin', 
               D5

Said tickin' like a time bomb that's waiting to explode.
