               C                                     D                                   G 
The Machinist climbs his ferris wheel like a brave
                     C                                         D                                                       G 
And the fireeater's lyin' in a pool of sweat victim of the heatwave,
                         C                                         D                                             G                             C 
Behind the tent the hired hand tightens his legs on the sword swallowers blade,
                                                     G 
Circus town's on the shortwave
                   C                       D                                             G 
Well the runway lies ahead like a great false dawn,
         C                                         D                                 G 
Fat lady, big mama, Missy Bimbo sits in her chair and yawns,
                 C                                         D                               G 
And the man-beast lies in his cage sniffin' popcorn
               C                                     D                                 G                         C 
And the midget licks his fingers and suffers Missy Bimbo's scorn
                                       G 
Circus town's been born.
                         C                                                                                                                                           G 
Whoa and a press roll drummer go, ballerina to-and-fro cartwheelin' up on that tightrope,
                     C 
With a cannon blast, lightin' flash, movin' fast through the tent, Mars bent,
                         G 
He's gonna miss his fall,
                                                   D 
Oh God save the human cannonball.
                       C                                                                           G 
And the flying Zambini's watch Marguarita do her neck twist,
                       C                                                                                     Am   D 
And the ringmaster gets the crowd to count along: 95, 96, 97.
                       C                                                                 D                                                     Em 
A ragged suitcase in his hand, he steals silently away from the circus grounds,
                       C                                               D 
And the highway's haunted by the carnival sounds
                                       Em                                 D                     C 
They dance like a great greasepaint ghost on the wind,
                     Bm                                       Em                       C 
A man in baggy pants, a lonely face, a crazy grin,
                     G                         F                 C 
Runnin' home to some small Ohio town
 Em                       G                                   D 
Jesus, send some sweet women to save all your clowns
         C                                               B 
And circus boy dances like a monkey on barbed wire,
                 C                                           D                                               G 
And the barker romances with a junkie, she's got a flat tire,
                         C                                       D                         G                                               C 
And now the elephants dance real funky and the band plays like a jungle fire,
                                           G 
Circus town's on the live wire.
                     C 
And the strong man Sampson lifts the midget, little Tiny Tim, up on his shoulders, way up
                                                                             G                           C                             G                             C                     G 
And carries carries him on down the midway past the kids, past the sailors, to his dimly lit trailer
                     C                                                     G                                                   D 
And the ferris wheel turns and turns like it ain't ever gonna stop,
                                                                                     D 
And the circus boss leans over and whispers in the little boy's ear,
           C                                           G 
Hey son you want to try the big top?
             C                                         G 
All aboard, Nebraska's our next stop.
