******************************************************************** [Verse 1]
E* A                       F#m    Bm           E
Be-neath the weight of the world      I can be found

  A                      F#m    Bm                  E
A-mong the chaos and the wheel,     scattered all a-round.

       D                   A       C#7               F#m
On the wild windy wave I'm tossed,     cast away and lost,

Bm             B7                         E7     (E7)
   Now I under-stand what those sad songs say.
[Chorus] 0:47
E7                      A      Asus4
Make up your mind to be happy,

E7                 A      A  Asus2 A
Life is a merry-go-round.

E7/B            E7
If you miss out this time,

C#7          F#m       F#m7
Don't let it fret your mind,

Bm             B7           E7 ^  D#7 ^ D7 ^  C7 ^
Love will come round in the end.
[Chorus] 1:14
E7                      A      Asus4
Make up your mind to be happy,

E7                 A      A  Asus2 A
Life is a merry-go-round.

E7/B            E7
If you miss out this time,

C#7          F#m       F#m7
Don't let it fret your mind,

Bm             B7           E    E7    E*
Love will come round in the end.
[Verse 2] 1:34
   A                       F#m   Bm                  E
Be-tween the devil and the deep      blue we find ourselves

A          AM7    A       F#m   Bm             E       D#
Out of the frying pan and into,    left on the shelf.

D                          A      C#7                              F#m
Borne willy nilly here and there       when our hearts are full of care,

       Bm               B7                         E
Oh my,     now we under-stand what those sad songs say,

E7 ^     D7 ^      (E7)
Sad, sad songs they say.
[Chorus] 2:23
E7                      A      Asus4
Make up your mind to be happy,

E7                 A      A  Asus2 A
Life is a merry-go-round.

E7/B            E7
If you miss out this time,

C#7          F#m       F#m7
Don't let it fret your mind,

Bm             B7           E7 ^  D#7 ^ D7 ^  C7 ^
Love will come round in the end.
