Standard (EADGBE)

I could have run away with a carnival girl

If were not for my foolish pride

Because under the lights of the Ferris wheel

She promised me every prize

Lalalalaaaa lalalalaaaaa

There’s not a pretty penny in my old blue jeans

I never seem to say quite what I mean

Well I drink too much and I think too much

And I know it sounds absurd but I wouldn’t change for the world

I wouldn’t change for the world

Well I sang for my supper

and I sang for my soul

I sang out across the bay

And I’ve been waiting here for my ship to come in

I know it’ll be here some day

Some day soon lalalalaaaaa

There’s not a pretty penny in my old blue jeans

I never seem to say quite what I mean

Well I think too much and I drink too much

And I know it sounds absurd but I wouldn’t change for the world

I wouldn’t change for the world

(Solo)

Could have been a carpenter and I could have been a thief

But then again its so hard to say

Cause I sit under the light of the morning sun

and I watch the carnival roll away

Lalala life lalala life

(chorus 1)
