Peter, Paul and Mary – The Kid (Guitar)

G       D       Em       C
I'm the kid who ran away with the circus

G       D        C   D
Now I'm watering elephants

G     D         Em           C
But I sometimes lie awake in the sawdust

G            D    C       D
dreaming I'm in a suit of lights

Em                   C
Late at night in the empty big top on

Em               C
I'm alone on the high wire

Em                A7
look he's working without a net this time

D                 C  D
he's a real death defyer

G       D       Em            C
I'm the kid who always looked out the windows

G       D        C   D
failing tests in geography

G        D           Em              C
But I've seen things far beyond just the school yard

G       D         C      D
distant shores of exotic lands

Em                 C
There's the spires of the Turkish empire

     Em               C
It's six months sweet we made the land fall

Em                  A7
riding low with the spice of India

D                           C   D
Through Gibralter were rich men all

G       D            Em               C
I'm the kid who who thought we'd someday be lovers

G           D        C          D
always held out that time would tell

G        D       Em       C
time was talking guess, I wasn't listening

G           D      C       D
No surprise if you know me well

Em               C
as we're walking toward the train station

Em        C
there's a whispering rainfall

Em                   A7
across the boulevard you'd slip your hand in mine

D                   C     D
in the distance the train calls

G       D       Em                 C
I'm the kid who has this habit of dreaming

G         D       C          D
Sometimes gets me in trouble too

G       D        Em                         C
But the truth is I could stop no more from dreaming

G            D         C        D
then I could make them all come true
