[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][Bb][Gm][Bb][Gm][Bb]

[Verse 1]
[Gm]Hearing [G]chil
[Bb]dren as they laugh[C] and they sing[Bb]
[F]Pulling brass [Bb]rings,
[C]dreaming all [G]sorts of things
And the stare in [Gm]their [Bb]mother's eyes,
both [C]fear and delight
[Bb]She's shak[F]ing from frigh[Bb]t but she
[C]knows [G]everything's all right.

[Verse 2]
Come [G]ride, come [Bb]ride,
come [F]ride up and [C]down
The merry- go, [Bb]merry- go- [G]round.

[Verse 3]
[G]Pictures bring back [Bb]thoughts and
[C]things from the [Bb]pas t
[F]Memories they [Bb]last even
[C]though time it [G]will pass
For memories are [Bb]real when there
[C]is nothing [Bb]more
[F]Whenever you're [Bb]bored and
there's [C]nothing to live [G]for.

[Verse 4]
Come [G]ride, come [Bb]ride,
come [F]ride up and [C]down
The merry- go, [Bb]merry- go- [G]round.

[Verse 5]
[Bb]An old man he [C]sits and he
[Bb]rocks in his [F]chair
[C]Waiting to [Bb]die, the [C]boy starts to [Bb]cry
but the [G]man he cannot
'Cause he's [Bb]lived far too [C]long
and there [Bb]is nothing l[F]eft
[C]Visions of [Bb]youth [C]and he serves no more [Bb]use than a
[G]book on the shelf.

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][F][C][Bb][F][Bb][C][Bb][C][G][Bb]
[G][Bb]

[Verse 6]
[Gm]Life [G]is swe[Bb]et when you've
[C]lost all your [Bb]fear
[F]Death it is [Bb]near,
your [C]cares they will [G]disappear
So you sit and re[Bb]member
the [C]gay laughing [Bb]sound
The [F]ups and the [Bb]downs of your [C]ride
on the [G]merry- go- round.

[Verse 7]
Come [G]ride, come [Bb]ride,
come [F]ride up and [C]down
The merry- go, [Bb]merry- go- [G]round.

[Verse 8]
[G]Life is just a merry- go- round.

[Outro 1]
