[N] [E] [Ab] I got you why I got [Eb] you back seriously
[Db]
[E]
[A] [Db] [F]
[Bb] [Db] [A] sing along [Dbm] you'll love it you know you [E] do this is a sing-along
Yesterday a child came out to wonder caught a [A] dragonfly
[B] Come on, sing along!
[E] Fearful when the [E] sky is full of [Abm] thunder
[A] And tearful [E] at the falling of the sky
Here we go!
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and [A] down
We're half the [E] carousel of life
[Em] We can be [A] turtled, we can roll with [E] her
We hide from [A] where we may
[E] The
[B] [E] circle of games
Then the [Db] child grew [E] in pants around the seasons
He skated [A] over thin, clear [B] frozen streams
[E] Words [Db] like winter and winter [Abm] must appease him
And [Em] promises [E] of someday make his dreams
And the seasons, [B] they go [E] round and round
And the painted ponies go up and [A] down
We're half [E] the carousel [A]
of [Abm] life
We hide from [A] where we may
[E]
[B] The [E] circle of games
Yeah, Johnny!
The summers are gone now
And cartwheels turn to [B] cartwheels through the town
[E] And they tell him, [Dbm] take your time
[E] It won't be [Abm] long now
[A] Until you drag your [E] feet, slow the circles down
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and [A] down
We're half the carousel [E] [A] of life
We can be turtled, we can roll with her
[E] We hide from [A] where we may
[E] In
[B] the [E] circle of games
The years spin [A] by and now the [E] boy is twenty
Though his dreams have [Db] lost some grandeur [B] coming true
[E] There'll be new dreams, [A] maybe better dreams
[Abm] And plenty [A] before the [E] last revolve here is through
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
[A] We can't give up the carousel
[E] We [A] can't be turtled, we can only [Abm] love
We hide from where we [A] may
And go [E] around [A] in the [E] circle of games
And go around [B]
in the circle [Db] of [E] games
