Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (Asus4) (A major) Well in
(D major) (G major) 1941 a
happy father (C major) had a son (A major)
And by (D major) 1944 the (G major) father walked (C major)
right out the door (A major)
And in (D major) '45, the (G major) mom
and son (C major) were still alive (A major)
But (B flat major) who could tell in (B flat major) '46 if the
(Asus4) two were (A major) to survive
Well the years (D major) were passing
Verse 2
(G major) quickly
But not (C major) fast enough for him (A major)
So he (D major) closed his eyes through (G major) '55
And then he (C major) opened them up again (A major)
When he (D major) looked around
he (G major) saw a clown
And the (C major) clown seemed very (A major) gay
And he set (B flat major) that night to join that circus (Asus4) clown and (A major) run away

Verse 3
Well he (D major) followed every (G major) railroad track
And (C major) every highway sign (A major)
And he (D major) had a girl in (G major) each new town
And the (C major) towns he left behind (A major)
And the (D major) open (G major) road
Was the (C major) only road he knew (A major)
But the (B flat major) color of his dreams
Was slowly turning (A major) into blue
Verse 4
Then he (A major) met a girl, (D major) the (G major) kind of girl
He (C major) wanted all his life (A major)
She was (D major) soft and kind and (G major) good to him
So he (C major) took her for his wife (A major)
And they (D major) got a house not (G major) far from town
And (C major) in a little while (A major)
The (B flat major) girl had seen the doctor
And she (A major) came home with a smile

Now in (D major) (G major) 1961, a happy father (C major) had a son (A major)
And by (D major) (G major) 1964 the father
walked (C major) right out the door (A major)
And (D major) in (G major) '65 the mom
and son (C major) were still around (A major)
But (B flat major) what will happen to the boy
When the (A major) circus comes to (D major) (G major) (C major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (C major)
(A major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (A major) (D major)
(G major) (C major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (A major) town? (D major)
