D Am D Found out this morning, there’s a circus coming Am to town D Am D They drive in Cadillacs, using walky talkies Am and the secret service E7 Asus4 E7 Asus4 Their big top, imitation of life E7 Asus4 E7 and all the flags and microphones E7 Asus4 they have to cover their eyes We play the sideshow and we like the tunnel of love And when we ride the ferris wheel, we’re little children again And when we ride the Ferris wheel We're little children again And when they're asking for volunteers We'll be the first ones aboard And when the ringmaster calls our names We'll be the first ones to go ... to sleep Stealing all our dreams Dreams for sale They sell 'em back to you Chorus: On with the show Start the parade We sand along Sweep us away It's political party time Going down, going down, coming down And the celebrities all come out Coming down, coming down, coming The sun is going down And the dogs are starting to howl We stay out after dark Eating cotton candy And the music's playing Chorus: How we all laughed! We split our sides The cameras flashed We almost died The rain's gonna pour on down Falling out of the sky Coming down, coming down And the celebrities all run out of the rain When it's down, coming down, gonna rain Gonna rain, gonna rain Gonna rain, gonna rain, rain, rain, rain And now I wonder who's boss And who he's leavin' behind? | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  Asus4  D  E7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
