Well the days are long, and the work is hard
G D
When your childhood is spent in the fields
A
And summer seemed to last a million years
D
One day when I was just a boy
G D
During one of those hot summer swells
A
The locusts were silenced by the clanging of bells
G A D G
And there was the thing for which I longed
A D
A place where I belonged
G A D G
Where I first held the hand of the one I loved (pause)
G A D
When the circus came to town
D
We ate candy corns and corn dogs
G D
Cotton candy and candy canes
A
And we shared a caramel apple by the arcade
D
And when night fell, and the stars rose
G D
And lights bedazzled the fair
A
We rode the Ferris Wheel up into the air
G A D G
And there was the thing for which I longed
A D
A place where I belonged
G A D G
Where I first held the hand of the one I loved (pause)
G A D
When the circus came to town
G D
And later in the fun-house, our bodies looked so strange
G D
And the mirrors made our faces seem deranged
G A
And the snake man, in the freak show
D G
He got you so alarmed
A
That you ran and ran and ran right into my arms, oh oh oh
D
The next morning, I got up
G D
Wrapped my clothes up into a ball
A
And I ran and ran to run away with the fair
D
But when I arrived, to my surprise
G D
All the tents and wagons were gone
A
And they'd stolen all the happiness from the air
G A D G
And gone was the thing for which I longed
A D
That place where I belonged
G A D G
Where I last held the hand of the one I loved (pause)
G A
When the circus came
D G
When the circus came
A D
When the circus came to town
