Wild Billy`s Circus Story Tom: C Intro: G with lick
C D G
The machinist climbs his ferris wheel like a brave
C D G
And the fire eater'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 swallower's blade
G C G C G
And circus town's on the shortwave
C D G
The runway lies ahead like a great false dawn
C D G
Woh 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
As the midget licks his fingers and suffers Missy Bimbo's scorn
G
Circus town's been born
C
Whoa, and a press roll drummer go, ballerina to and fro
G C
Cartwheelin' up on that tightrope with a cannon blast lightin' flash
G
Movin' fast through the tent Mars bent, he's gonna miss his fall
D
Oh God save the human cannonball.
C G
And the flying Zambinis watch Margarita do her neck twist,
C Am D
And the ringmaster gets the crowd to count along Ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven
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 Em
Runnin' home to some small Ohio town
G D
Jesus send some good women to save all your clowns
C D G
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 way up on his shoulders, way up
G C G
And carries him on down the midway past the kids, past the sailors
C G
To his dimly lit trailer
C G Dsus4 D
And the ferris wheel turns and turns like it ain't ever gonna stop
Dsus4
And the circus boss leans over
D Dsus4
And whispers in the little boy's ear
C G
Hey son, you wanna try the big top?
C G G
All aboard, Nebraska's our next stop.
