[E] [A] [Bm]
[E] [D] [Bm]
Swing low
Could be the last [E] hope for two of us
I [Bm] said swing high
Reach [E] out and touch the sky
But don't cry yet, it's not time yet
[Bm] See this race is wrong, come see this race is right
[E] See millions of years pass with nowhere near [Bm] tired Sleep tight
You couldn't count the [E] calls through the night
Because it's not right, [A] it never was [Bm] right
Come along, come along, come along [E] with [A] [Bm]
[E] [A] [Bm]
[E] [A] [Bm]
[E] me
Oh, [A] so [Bm]
amazing
There's a carnival on my [E] street tonight
I hear them dancing, I hear them dancing
But I know [Bm] clearly, if this thing don't move here
[E] Then this thing just don't have no heartbeat
Get on the street, I [Bm] said, sweet, I do, babe
I got no time to kill, I said
[A] Hold back those arms, raise them, hold [D] back the beard
[Bm] Sleep tight
You couldn't count the [E] calls through the night
Because it's not right, [F#m] it never was right
I [Bm] said come along, come along, come along [E] with [A] [Bm]
