The Last Carnival chords
Bruce Springsteen

Capo III

G C D  4x

C/G C/G C/G C/G  D

C   G     C   G  
Sun down, sun down,
        C      G       C     G
they're taking all the tents down
C                               G
Where have you gone my handsome Billy?

C   G     C   G  
Sun down, sun down,
    C        G      C       G
the carnival trains leaving town
C                         G
Where are you now darling Billy?

D                            C           D    
We won't be dancing together on the high wire,
           C                    D       C        
facing the lions with you at my side anymore
D                         C             D
We won't be breathing the smoke and the fire,
     C/G C/G C/G C/G  D
on a midway

D   
Hanging from the trapeze,
   C                       D
my wrists waiting for your wrists
                     C               D
Two daredevils high upon the wall of death
                                 C              D 
You throwing the knife, it lands inches from my heart
C/G C/G C/G C/G   
Sun down

C
Moon rise, moon rise,
    G                      D       C     G
the light that was in your eyes is gone away
C              
Daybreak, daybreak,
    G                         D       C     G
the thing in you that made me ache is gonna stay

D                            C          D
We'll be riding the train without you tonight
               C        G         
The train that keeps on moving,
                 C                     G
it s black smoke scorching the evening sky

D                                       C                     D
Millions of stars shining above us like every soul living and dead
          
It's been gathered together by God,
       C              D
sing a hymn over your bones
  
C   G     C   G  
Sun down, sun down,
C     G       C   G 
Empty are the fairgrounds
C                          G
Where are you now handsome Billy?
