[Verse 1]
E                         G      
  Bright lights, Blind me, And 
                  E
I'm whisking by the people
E                  G             
  Pushing, rushing, To the organ 
          E
grinder's music

[Chorus]
       E        F               E
And my eyes are running, And my 
        F
legs are aching
            E      F              
And there's people winning, And 
  E          A  D  G  C  F  Bb 
the carnival's spinning
 A  Am

[Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
E                  G             
  Merry - go round, Go round and 
             E
they make me dizzy
E                   G            
  People - shouting, As they 
             E
shoot and win an ashtray

[Chorus]
       E       F                E
And my head is breakin', And my 
        F
ears are splitting
       E       F                 
And my hair is thinning, And the 
E          A  D  G  C  F  Bb  A  Am
carnival's spinning

[Bridge]
Am
 After the people have gone, I walk 
alone down sideshow alley
Am
 And from a tent I hear some crying,
 The sound of someone in pain
Am
 And written brightly on the canvas 
and woodwork, So that everybody 
would see
Am                                
 Was the question they pose to the
         F                    G   
 public, "When is a man not a man?
Em                      Am
 When he's a freak in a sideshow"
           F          Am          
 But we've all got to cry, Yes we 
F          Am             F     
all got to cry, And we've all 
     Am
got to cry

E                         G      
  Bright lights, Blind me, And 
                  E
I'm whisking by the people
E                   G            
  Pushing - rushing, To the organ
           E
 grinder's music

[Chorus]
       E        F               E
And my eyes are running, And my

legs are achy
            E      F               
And there's people crying, And the

carnival's dying
 Em      Am
