Chords

[Intro]
G N.C.
  He walked up to the bandstand

    G                                Am N.C.
And asked me, "Could an old man sit in?"

D7 N.C.
Across his face I saw the pain

      D7 N.C.
And I felt it in these words

            G N.C.   D7
I heard him sing
[Verse 1]
 G
"I can't believe what I see

                         Am
Looking back through the years

D7
So many leftover scars

                   G
From a dreamer's career

  G
I stole from the good life

                              C
And now it wants payment from me

     D7
I've nothing but memories

                          G
And little to give back you see"
[Chorus]
                      G
And the show's almost over

       G7            C
Let me sing one more song

                           D7
Lord, the world sure looks lonely

                        G
When the crowd's almost gone

   G                        G7
So children please listen,

                C
But don't sing along

                          D7
'Cause the mountains were mean

                      G
And the meaning's all wrong
[Verse 2]
           G
He said, "On my way up

                               Am
I didn't want my little woman around

D7
  I was just always too busy,

                           G
Bathing in the fame that I found

        G
Now the circus is over

                         C
Somebody please tell the clown

D7
  And darling please forgive me,

                                 G   E7
I'm sorry for letting you down"
[Chorus]
                      A
And the show's almost over

       A7            D
Let me sing one more song

                           E7
Lord, the world sure looks lonely

                        A
When the crowd's almost gone

   A                        A7
So children please listen,

                E
But don't sing along

                          E7
'Cause the mountains were mean

                      A
And the meaning's all wrong
[Outro]
                      A
And the show's almost over
