Chords

[Intro] D Bm G A x2 [Verse 1]
D   Bm                 G
Sun climbs toward high noon

D                         Bm            G
  Glints metallic off the bowl of the spoon

D                              F#m
Sliding through the air toward parted lips

G                              A
 Watch the expression when the straight taste hits

     Bm      F#m                    Em
Face crumples, tongue’s quickly withdrawn

G                           A           D
 I hate to tell you but the candy man’s gone
[Instrumental] D Bm G A D Bm [Verse 2]
D              Bm                 G
  Oh, sweet fantasia of the safe home

D                              Bm                         G
Where nobody has to scrape for honey at the bottom of the comb

D                        F#m
  Where every actor understands the scene

G                 A
  and nobody ever means to be mean

Bm                    F#m            Em
Catch it in a dream, catch it in a song

G                                       A             D   Bm
 Seek it on the street, you’ll find the candy man’s gone

G                            A             D
  I hate to tell you but the candy man’s gone
[Instrumental] (D) Bm G A D Bm G A D Bm [Verse 3]
D                    Bm                           G
  In the bar, in the Senate, in the alley, in the study

D                   Bm               G
  Pimping dreams of riches for everybody

D                        F#m
  Something for nothing, new lamps for old

        G                          A
and the streets will be platinum, never mind gold

     Bm  F#m         Em
Well hey,   pass it on

G                              A            D   Bm
 Misplaced your faith and the candy man’s gone

G                            A             D
  I hate to tell you but the candy man’s gone
