The Carny

G              C
One half of my two oldest friends
C6                  G
Took a job ‘til the summers end
G              C
A wonder show and a pop up tent
C6                          G
Kicking dust in every small town

G              C
An out of work Indian
C6                              G
A few hundred a week ain't that bad 
my friend
G              C
Don't think he every picked up a 
wrench
C6                G
In his whole damn life.

G                      C
Buzzing lights and the mosquitoes 
bit
C6               G
Thought for sure that he'd quit
G                   C
Just as soon as the night time hit
        C6        G
Well he proved me wrong

G            C
Cause by the end of it
C6                         G
The Tilt-a-whirled and the Zipper 
zipped
G               C
And he had both hands in it
C6                          G
From sun up until they tore down

[Chorus]
           C                G
Most these folks ain't like most 
these folks
Em                G          C
Keep in mind that some folks lie
    C                  G
And if you ever need a place to go
     Em           G    C
Just look for the neon sign


[Verse 2]
G                 C
Popcorn, soda and caramel apples
C6                     G
Three weeks in, oh, he couldn't 
stand ‘em
G               C
Sleeping on a paper thin mattress
C6                G
Praying for early rain

G                 C
Fist fight almost went in the fire
C6             G
Garbage tattoo of barbed wire
G                      C
Covers the arm of this kid named 
Kyle
    C6                    G
Who swears Jord stole his weed

G                         C
Fair ground littered with happy 
families
C6                G
Painted faces and cotton candy
G                           C
The kind of life that would be just 
dandy
     C6            G
Then who'd run the rides?
C                       G
Guess that's just carny life


[Chorus]
           C                G
Most these folks ain't like most 
these folks
Em                G          C
Keep in mind that some folks lie
    C                  G
And if you ever need a place to go
     Em           G    C
Just look for the neon sign

           C                G
Most these folks ain't like most 
these folks
Em                G          C
Keep in mind that some folks lie
    C                  G
And if you ever need a place to go
     Em           G    C
Just look for the neon sign
     Em           G    C
Just look for the neon sign
     Em           G    C
Just look for the neon sign
