[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Yesterday a [C]child
came out to [G]wander[C][G]
[C]Caught [G]a dra[C]gonfly inside a jar[D],
fear[G]ful when the [C]sky was full of [G]thunder,
and [C]tearful at the [G]falling of [C]a s[G]tar.[C][G]
And the seasons,
they go [C]round and [G]round,
and the painted ponies go
[C]up and [G]down,[C]
we're captured on a carousel of [G]time.
[C]We [G]can[C]'t return,
we can only look behind
[G]from where we cam[C]e,
and go round [Bm]and round a[G]nd r[Am]ound
in a [C]circle [G]game.[C][G]
Then the child moved [C]ten times
from the [G]season,[C][G]
[C]skated [G]over ten[C] clear
frozen [D]streets.
[G]Words like, when you're [C]older,
must ap[G]pease him,
and [C]promises of [G]someday
[C]make his [G]dreams.
And the seasons,
they go [C]round and [G]round,
and the painted ponies go [C]up and down.
[G]We'[C]re captive on the carousel of tim[G]e
[C]We can't return,
we can only look behind
[G]from where we cam[C]e
And go round [G]and round and [Am]round
in the [C]circle [G]game[C][G]
16 springs and [C]16 summers gone [G]now,
[C]cartwheels [G]turn to car[C]wheels
through the [D]town, and [G]they
Tell him, take your [C]time,
it won't be [G]long now
Till you [C]drag your feet too [G]slow,
the [C]circle's [G]down[C][G]
And the seasons, they go [C]round and [G]round
And the painted ponies go [C]up and down
[G]We'[C]re captive on the carousel of tim[G]e
[C]We can't return,
we can only look behind
[G]from where we [C]came
And go [G]round and round [C]and [Am]round
in the [C]circle [G]game[C]
[G]So the years spin by,
[C]now the boy is [G]twenty.[C]
Though his [G]dreams have lost
some [C]grandeur,
coming [D]true.
There'll [G]be new dreams,
maybe bet[C]ter dreams,
and [G]plenty[C][Am][C][G][C][G][C]
[G]And the seasons, they go [C]round and [G]round
And the faded ponies go [C]up and [G]down
[C]We're captured on the carousel of [G]time
[C]We can't return,
we can only look behind
[G]from where we cam[C]e
And go [G]round and round [C]and [Am]round
in the [C]circle [G]game[C][G]
[C]We can't return,
we can only look behind
[G]from where we cam[C]e,
and go round [G]and round and
[C]round in a [D]circle.[C]

[Outro 1]
Amen
