THE LAST CARNIVAL


CAPO on 1st fret

Sun   down, sun    down
        Asus4  A       Asus4 A
They're taking all the tents down
      D                         A
Where have you gone my handsome Billy?

Sun   down, sun   down

The carnival train's leaving town
      D                   A
Where are you now darling Billy?

E                 A                    D
We won't be dancing together on the high wire
E                   A         D        
Facing the lions with you at my side anymore
E                       A             D
We won't be breathing the smoke and the fire
    Asus4 A
On a midway

E   
Hanging from the trapeze
   A                       D
My wrists waiting for your wrists
   E                      A       D
Two daredevils high upon the wall of death
    E                         A              D 
You throwing the knife, it lands inches from my heart

Sun down

bridge:
F#m
Moon rise, moon rise
    E                              D    A
The light that was in your eyes is gone away
F#m              
Daybreak, daybreak
    E                                 D     A
The thing in you that made me ache is gonna stay

E                           A         D
We'll be riding the train without you tonight
   E                   
The train that keeps on moving
                A                     D
Its black smoke scorching the evening sky
E                                    A                     D
Millions of stars shining above us like every soul living and dead
          E
It's been gathered together by God
       A              D
Sing a hymn over your bones
  
Asus4 A   Asus4 A
Sun down, sun down
Asus4 A       Asus4 A 
Empty are the fairgrounds
      D                    A
Where are you now handsome Billy?
