Widespread Panic – Crack And Whistle (Ukulele)

              A7
Look at our reflections in the water

           D7
We used to come here when we were schoolboys

                                                   A7
This ole water hole look like it's changed much to you?

                 D7
Do you think the Lady of the Lake would even remember

                              A7
The battles we staged for her favor? 

         A7
Do you remember it got so dark and late

                                                   A7
We had to start the games the next morning just to save her

         E
Leave it all for the crack and whistle

       F                         A7
Of the carnival train headed for town

              A
Now there are children buying candy

     D
Boys spin from the high ride

A
Old man coming home late

D# D        D#  D
Outside the woodshed

D# D                      D#  D
Wondering what he's gonna say

A                                  G
Mom's been asleep listening to the short waves

Riff:

              A7
Look at our reflections in the mirror

     D7
This funhouse gonna distort and shake

                                     A7
Worlds we might really never know at all

    D7
You think if we keep coming back

                                          A7
The carnival stay on the edge of town for keeps?

          D7                                       A7
When everybody be happy, we all be laughing in the streets

      E
No, I couldn't conjure up a sadder sound

         F                                    A7
Than the crack and whistle headed for another town

A
Chickens don't know what bit 'em

    D
The twins there look like spacemen

        A
And the ponies look like toys

D# D                   D#  D
Peekin' underneath the sideshow tent

     D# D        D# D
Like looking for monsters 'neath the bed

A                        G
Junior's running home to mama

    A
The children line up for candy

        D
And the boys tell glory stories

                        A
Jobs and school started late

D
Carnival's packed and gone

                                                       A     
Ahead of the names and the fames and the names and the rains (?)

        A                G
Mom and dad didn't go to bed last night
