The Circle Game

Verse 1:
B           E                 B       Gb
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
B              E            Gb    E Gb
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
B                E               Ebm
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
     E              Gb           B
And tearful at the falling of a star

Chorus:
B                         E          B
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
B                         E      B
And the painted ponies go up and down
       E                       B
We're captive on a carousel of time
E                                 Ebm                  E
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came
E       Ebm                   E            Gb      B
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game

Verse 2:
B                    E                    B        Gb
Then the child moved ten times 'round the seasons
B           E                Gb        E Gb
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
B                        E            Ebm
Words like, when you're older, must appease him
    E            Gb                  B
And promises of someday make his dreams

Chorus:
B                         E          B
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
B                         E      B
And the painted ponies go up and down
       E                       B
We're captive on a carousel of time
E                                 Ebm                  E
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came
E       Ebm                   E            Gb      B
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game

Verse 3:
B                   E                  B      Gb
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
B                   E                     Gb     E Gb
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
B                            E                Ebm
And they tell him, take your time it won't be long now
          E                  Gb                B
'Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

Chorus:
B                         E          B
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
B                         E      B
And the painted ponies go up and down
       E                       B
We're captive on a carousel of time
E                                 Ebm                  E
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came
E       Ebm                   E            Gb      B
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game

Verse 4:
B                     E              B
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
B                                 E              Gb
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
B                             E                 Ebm
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
    E              Gb                B
Before the last revolving year is through

Outro:
B                         E          B
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
B                         E      B
And the painted ponies go up and down
       E                       B
We're captive on a carousel of time
E                                 Ebm                  E
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came
E       Ebm                   E            Gb      B
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game
E       Ebm                   E            Gb      B
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game
