Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Ah[C][G]
[C]Ah[G][C][D][G]
[C]Ah[D][G][C][D][G]
[C][D][G][C][D][G]
[C]
[Bb]I ri[G]de the helter -skelter with
ironic enthu[C]siasm[Bb]
[G]It's actions like these that anchor me
to all my credibil[C]ity[Bb]
Whil[G]st you scuff and stare at the dirty
nose nobody [C]with [Bb]the mallet
[G]I suggestively lead you down
into the tunnel of [C]love[Bb]
[G]In the tunnel there is a proud
man with [C]no name[Bb]
[G]He keeps his wife in a jar atop the
bubble that he lives [C]within[Bb]
[G]Cause this old tunnel leaves no place
for attached [C]strings, [Bb]love
[G]If you for[C]get who you [Bb]are
it will swallow you [C]up
[D]A d[G]ay at the carnival,
[C]a d[D]ay at the carn[G]ival
[C]A d[D]ay at the carn[G]ival,
[C]a d[D]ay at the carn[G]ival[C][D]
[G]On the carousel a man chases his dignity
riding [C]on the horse [Bb]ahead
[G]Nobody has the heart to tell him
that he will never catch [C]up[Bb]
[G]In the stall over there,
there is a liar caked [C]in candy[Bb]floss
[G]I guess sometimes sugarcoating does not, will not, cannot,
[C]has not changed a fucking thi[Bb]ng
[G]A small child rides the rollercoaster,
that ob[C]jectifies his [Bb]life
[G]His father stands and watches from the side,
[C]surprising to [Bb]few
[G]A clown hands out balloons
with temptations [C]tied [Bb]to them
[G]He'll be running [D]for
Prime
[C]Minister next year
[D]A d[G]ay a[C]t the carnival
[D]A day at the c[G]arnival
[C]A d[D]ay at the c[G]arnival[C]
[D]A day at the c[G]arnival[C][D]
[G]On the ferris wheel there are
three well -travelled [C]fools[Bb]
[G]One of them is honest,
but they are still trying to work out [C]who[Bb]
[G]Two philosophers discuss suffering,
whilst throwing base[C]balls at unusually heavy [Bb]objects
[G]Nothing will ever come of this
for either of [C]them[Bb]
[G]A man with a military past explains how great
it [C]is to follow orders for one's [Bb]country
[G]On the teacups a
Nazi and a
Bolshevik [C]blush in respon[Bb]se
[G]A funeral procession ascends the
log flumes in defin[C]ite tracks
[Bb]The [G]deceased is a [C]priest who forgot to
put his candelabras at ease
My
God!
[D]A day at the carn[G]ival[C]
[D]A day a[G]t the carnival[C]
[D]A day at the c[G]arnival[C]
[D]A day at the c[G]arnival[C]
[D]A day at the c[G]arnival[C]
[D]The dead, [G]the carnivore
[C]The [D]dead, the car[G]nivore[C]
[D]The dead, [G]the carnivore
[C]The [D]dead, the car[G]nivore[C]
[D]The dead, the [G]carnivore
