1974, MCA Records August 5, 2003 [Intro] D D/C D/B D/A E7 A7 D D D/C D/B D/A E7 A7 D [Chorus]
D                   E7
  Ringling, Ringling, slippin' away

G                        D
  Only forty people livin' there today

D                           E7
  Streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down

G        A7           D
  It's a dyin' little town
[Verse 1]
D                                  E7
Church window's broken, that place ain't been used in years

G                 A7           D      A7
Jail don't have a sheriff or a cell

     D                                 E7
And electric trains, they run by maybe once or twice a month

G              A7             D       A7
  Easin' it on down to Mussel Shell
[Chorus]
D                   E7
  Ringling, Ringling, slippin' away

G                        D
  Only forty people livin' there today

D                                     E7
 'Cause the streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down

G        A7           D
  It's a dyin' little town
[Bridge]
     A
And across from the bar there's a pile of beer cans

D
Been there twenty seven years

 E7                                     A7
Imagine all the heartaches and tears in twenty seven years of beer
[Verse 2]
      D                                    E7
So we hopped back in the rent-a-car and we hit the cruise control

G                 A7              D
  Pretty soon the town was out of sight

       D                            E7
But we left behind a fat barmaid, a cowboy and a dog

G             A7              D
Bracin' for a Ringling Friday night
[Chorus]
D                              E7
  Ringling, Ringling, you're just slippin' away

  G                              D
I wonder how many people will be there a year from today

D                                      E7
  'Cause the streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down

G        A7           D
  It's a dyin' little town

    E7       A7           D
Yeah, it's a dyin' little town
[Outro] (D) D/C D/B D/A E7 A7 D
