The Tarot And The Banjo
 
[Verse 1]
F                    Am                Gm           C
Still can’t help but feelin’ like some sorry little clown
F                       Am          Gm       C
When the circus tent is empty and nobody is around
F                     Am          Gm             C
So I dream of sky and ocean and a little plot of ground
Eb              Bb            C
The sounds that spin upon the day
Eb   Bb        C
Only wanted to play
 
 
[Verse 2]
F            Am         Gm          C
Your goddamn sorrow was bringin’ me down
F                Am             Gm             C
Your vision of tomorrow was too high above the ground
F                  Am              Gm           C
The mission to the meadow has been taken to the town
Eb               Bb        C
To scare all the children away
Eb                  Bb        C
To scare the little children away
 
 
[Verse 3]
F                   Am               Gm               C
Couldn’t stay there longer while you held yourself to blame
F              Am             Gm             C
Didn’t want to be the one who lost himself insane again
F                        Am        Gm               C
But I knew that it would look like I had betrayed a friend
Eb   Bb        C
Only wanted to play
Eb         Bb           C
I was just feelin’ that way
 
 
[Bridge]
Dm                              G
You know the same things happen anyway
Dm                              G
No matter what the other people always say
Dm                                       G
Don’t let them bring you down into their funny little game
         G                         C
You know all that ever was still remains the same
 
 
[Verse 4]
F                    Am                Gm           C
Still can’t help but feelin’ like some sorry little clown
F                 Am          Gm                  C
I left you in the water and I knew that you could drown
F Am    Gm               C
   Now my castles tumble down
Eb      Bb        C
Sorry I went that way that day
Eb   Bb        C
Only wanted to play
 
 
[Verse 5]
F                    Am                Gm           C

Sounds that spin upon the day
Eb   Bb        C
Only wanted to play
