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
Thank you for doing this song! I love it 😀
Okay, people. Before you ask for an easier version of this song, let me just TELL you. It’s +1 that seems easier to me (Of course, in MY opinion.)
The normal version isn’t too bad as is. It just looks a bit daunting cause it’s not normal chords for the most part. You can switch B to AbM really easy by just moving your index finger back and placing your pinkie on the E string spot. For DbM you can just bar the first with your index (and middle if you need it) and partially bar the fourth with your pinkie. The biggest issue is E with I think the website has some tips on. Just work on your transitions to each chord and you can do it!
Strumming pattern?
love this song soo much!
