Dm                          F
I have tried in vain never had success
       A#               F            C7
So it seems my life is nothing but a mess
F      A#      F     Gm
I have lost my only friend
       Fdim                   A7
Now it seems I have to start again

Chorus:
          D                A
Merry-go-round Where am I bound
                  G                 D
With my love and feelings merry-go-round
                                     A
Who wants to kiss me and hug me and miss me
                                        D
Yes, who wants to do it I wish that I knew it
          D                  A
Merry-go-round - wish I had found
             A7                  D
Somebody to care for Where am I bound
           D7                     G
Life is so lonely If life is just only
    Gm           D           A7        Dm
To love with my loving Goes round and round

Looking for someone who would want to stay
I might find her with a bit of luck one day
But who knows so until then
I can only try and try again

Chorus - x2

Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry-go-round
