E You can walk on the water, drown in the sand You can fly off a mountaintop if anybody can Run away, run away--it's the restless age Look away, look away--you can turn the page A A7 E Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap E Here on the street F#m E/G# A B7 E I got six on each arm and two more round my feet Chorus: E Life is a carnival--believe it or not Life is a carnival--two bits a shot Saw a man with the jinx in the third degree Trying to deal with people, people you can't see Take away, take away, this house of mirrors Give away, give away, all the souvenirs We're all in the same boat ready to float off the edge of the world The flat old world The street is a sideshow from the peddler to the corner girl Chorus: Life is a carnival, it's in the book Life is a carnival, take another look Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap? Here on the street I got six on each arm and two more round my feet Chorus: Life is a carnival, believe it or not Life is a carnival, two bits a shot Life is a carnival Life is a carnival Life is a carnival You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A7  E  F#m  G#  B7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
