E’G’C’E’F’E’C’C’C’E’
Yesterday a
child came out to wonder
E’G’C’E’F’E’C’C’D’
Caught a
dragonfly inside a jar
E’E’G’C’E’F’E’C’C’E’G’
Fearful when
the sky was full of thunder
E’F’G’F’E’C’G’E’E’G’
And tearful at
the falling of a star
E’G’C’E’F’E’C’C’C’E’
Then the child
moved ten times round the seasons
E’G’C’E’F’E’C’C’D’
Skated over ten
clear frozen streams
E’E’G’C’E’F’E’C’C’E’G’
Words like,
when you're older, must appease him
E’F’G’F’E’C’G’E’E’G’
And promises of
someday make his dreams
①
G’G’E’G’ C’E’G’F’C’
And the seasons
they go round and round
E’G’E’E’G’G’E’G’F’E’
And the painted
ponies go up and down
E’F’C’F’G’A’A#’A’C’E’
We're captive
on the carousel of time
F’F’C’F’F’G’A’A’G’
We can't return
we can only look
C’E’G’E’B’A’
behind From
where we came
B’G’B’G’E’C’A’
And go round
and round and round
C’C’E’E’
In the circle
game ①
E’G’C’E’F’E’C’C’C’E’
Sixteen springs
and sixteen summers gone now
E’G’C’E’F’E’C’C’D’
Cartwheels turn
to car wheels thru the town
E’E’G’C’E’F’E’C’C’E’G’
And they tell
him, Take your time, it won't be long now
E’F’G’F’E’C’G’E’E’G’
Till you drag
your feet to slow the circles down
Repeat ①
G’G’E’G’C’E’F’E’C’C’C’E’
So the years
spin by and now the boy is twenty
E’G’C’E’F’E’C’C’D’
Though his
dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
E’E’G’C’E’F’E’C’C’E’G’
There'll be new
dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
E’F’G’F’E’C’G’E’E’G’
Before the last
revolving year is through
Repeat ①
