Guy Clark – Wild Man From Borneo (Guitar)

         C                                   F
He's the star of Captain Midnite's travelin' show

   C                        F
He came to that circus many moons ago.

    F                               C              F
His mother's in your storybook, she loved a jungle king,

         C                    G
Left him standin' there alone inside the center ring.

     C                                 F
In a bamboo cage he crossed the ragin' sea,

  C                                F 
A livin' page torn clean from history.

  F                       C               F 
A hairy, scary, legendary screamin' souvenir,

C                               G
Don't you get too close to him, don't you get too near.

         F                 C
He's the wild man from Borneo,

    E                 F
The wild man from Borneo.

   C                   G
We come to see what we wanna see,

       F                                C
Ah, we come to see but we never come to know.

    C                             F
The tattooed lady left the circus train

C                            F
Lost all her pictures in the rain.

   F                              C                  F
He wonders if she's happy, as the midway lights grow dimmed

   C                               G
He wonders if she'll ever know the mark she left on him.

         F                  C
He's the wild man from Borneo, 

    E         F
The wild man ...

   C                   G     
We come to see what we wanna see,

       F                                C
Ah, we come to see but we never come to know.

    C                    G
You come to see what you want to see,

        F                                  C
Ah, you come to see, but you never come to know.
