The Carnival Is Over

[Intro] Fm7 Eb7+ Fm7 Eb7+ Cm7 Bb7+

  Fm7
Outside
                  Eb7+
The storm clouds gathering
       Fm7                          Eb7+
Moved silently along the dusty boulevard
       Fm7                                 Eb7+
Where flowers turning crane their fragile necks
   Fm7
So they can in turn
                      Eb7+
Reach up and kiss the sky

                     Cm7             Eb/Ab Ab5
They are driven by a strange desire
Eb/Ab    Ab5       Eb7+
  Unseen by the       human eye
Eb/Ab   Ab5        Eb/Ab  Ab5    Fm7
  Someone is          calling
                    Eb7+
I remember when you held my hand
       Fm7                                Eb7+
In the park we would play when the circus came to town
           Cm7      Bb7+
Look! Over here

  Fm7
Outside
The circus gathering
                                   Eb7+
Moved silently along the rainswept     boulevard
       Fm7
The procession moved on the shouting is over
                               Eb7+
The fabulous freaks are leaving town
                     Cm7             Eb/Ab Ab5
They are driven by a strange desire
Eb/Ab    Ab5       Eb7+
  Unseen by the       human eye
Eb/Ab   Ab5        Eb/Ab  Ab5    Cm7
  Someone is          calling
    Eb/Ab  Ab5     Eb/Ab  Ab5    Fm7 Eb7+
The   carnival       is over

       Fm7
We sat and watched
             Eb7+       Fm7
As the moon rose again
                        Eb7+
For the very first time
