The Circle Game Cifras

[Intro]
A  D  A  D
 
[Verse 1]
A           D                 A     A4  A
Yesterday a child came out to wonder 
A               D            E
Caught a dragon-fly inside a jar
A                D               F#m7
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
    D              Bm      E    A
And tearful at the falling of a star.
 
[Chorus]
A                        D          A
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
A                         D      A
And the painted ponies go up and down.
      D                          A    A4  A
We're captive on the carousel of time.
D                                 C#m                  D
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came
D      C#m                   D             E      A
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game.
 
[Verse 2]
A                    D                    A     A4  A
Then the child moved ten times 'round the seasons 
A           D                E
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
A                       D           F#m7
Words like, when you're older, must appease him
    D           Bm       E        A
And promises of some day make his dreams.
 
[Chorus]
A                        D          A
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
A                         D      A
And the painted ponies go up and down.
      D                          A    A4  A
We're captive on the carousel of time.
D                                 C#m                  D
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came
D      C#m                   D             E      A
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game.
 
[Verse 3]
A                   D               A       A4  A
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now 
A                  D                      E
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town.
A                            D                 F#m7
And they tell him: Take your time. It won't be long now
         D                 Bm       E       A
'til you drag your feet to slow the circles down.
 
[Chorus]
A                        D          A
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
A                         D      A
And the painted ponies go up and down.
      D                          A    A4  A
We're captive on the carousel of time.
D                                 C#m                  D
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came
D      C#m                   D             E      A
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game.
 
[Verse 4]
A                    D               A        A4  A
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty 
A                                D               E
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true.
A                             D                 F#m7
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
D                 Bm      E       A
Before the last revolving year is through.
 
[Chorus]
A                        D          A
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
A                         D      A
And the painted ponies go up and down.
      D                          A    A4  A
We're captive on the carousel of time.
D                                 C#m                  D
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came
D      C#m                   D             E      A
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game.
D      C#m                   D             E      A
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game.
