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 Cmaj7 0 3 2 0 0 0 www.sound-of-blue-sky.de
