G F C G# F# C# A G D A# G# D# B A E C A# F C# B F# D C G D# C# G# E D A F D# A# F# E B
The tears you tried so hard to hide are flowing
C Em C# Fm D F#m D# Gm E G#m F Am F# A#m G Bm G# Cm A C#m A# Dm B D#m
And a blind man with his knife in hand
F Em Dm F# Fm D#m G F#m Em G# Gm Fm A G#m F#m A# Am Gm B A#m G#m C Bm Am C# Cm A#m D C#m Bm D# Dm Cm E D#m C#m

No time to weep, she'll need her sleep tomorrow
C Em C# Fm D F#m D# Gm E G#m F Am F# A#m G Bm G# Cm A C#m A# Dm B D#m
When she carries her face to the market place
F Em Dm F# Fm D#m G F#m Em G# Gm Fm A G#m F#m A# Am Gm B A#m G#m C Bm Am C# Cm A#m D C#m Bm D# Dm Cm E D#m C#m
And bets it on the opening race

She can ring her bells, Miss Carousel

But her singing brings me sorrow

Is shown that grown men never run
G F CG# F# C#A G DA# G# D#B A EC A# FC# B F#D C GD# C# G#E D AF D# A#F# E B
So they fight with all the might inside them
C Em C# Fm D F#m D# Gm E G#m F Am F# A#m G Bm G# Cm A C#m A# Dm B D#m
When the battle's been fought and they've all been taught
F Em Dm F# Fm D#m G F#m Em G# Gm Fm A G#m F#m A# Am Gm B A#m G#m C Bm Am C# Cm A#m D C#m Bm D# Dm Cm E D#m C#m

When the need arose, your eyes fell closed
F Em Dm F# Fm D#m G F#m Em G# Gm Fm A G#m F#m A# Am Gm B A#m G#m C Bm Am C# Cm A#m D C#m Bm D# Dm Cm E D#m C#m
You clamped your fingers around your nose
G F C G# F# C# A G D A# G# D# B A E C A# F C# B F# D C G D# C# G# E D A F D# A# F# E B
Would you say - that's any way to judge him?

F Em Dm F# Fm D#m G F#m Em G# Gm Fm A G#m F#m A# Am Gm B A#m G#m C Bm Am C# Cm A#m D C#m Bm D# Dm Cm E D#m C#m
To kill him in the first degree
G G7 G# G#7 A A7 A# A#7 B B7 C C7 C# C#7 D D7 D# D#7 E E7 F F7 F# F#7
But would you feel compelled, Miss Carousel
F C F# C# G D G# D# A E A# F B F# C G C# G# D A D# A# E B
If you had something to begrudge him?

F Em Dm F# Fm D#m G F#m Em G# Gm Fm A G#m F#m A# Am Gm B A#m G#m C Bm Am C# Cm A#m D C#m Bm D# Dm Cm E D#m C#m
Of those that come to pry and preach

The natural man that tried to stand is fallin'

Well, how long will it be before he sees
F Em Dm F# Fm D#m G F#m Em G# Gm Fm A G#m F#m A# Am Gm B A#m G#m C Bm Am C# Cm A#m D C#m Bm D# Dm Cm E D#m C#m
You own his legs, but his mind is free?

Only you can tell, Miss Carousel

Even though you stop for breathing
C Em C# Fm D F#m D# Gm E G#m F Am F# A#m G Bm G# Cm A C#m A# Dm B D#m

F Em Dm F# Fm D#m G F#m Em G# Gm Fm A G#m F#m A# Am Gm B A#m G#m C Bm Am C# Cm A#m D C#m Bm D# Dm Cm E D#m C#m
