Chords for Roy Orbison - The Comedians (Black & White Night 30)

_ _ _ We're gonna do this new song right here that Orbison just recorded.
It's called The Comedians.
It was written by Declan McManus back here.
_ _ _ None of us are sure if Orbison's gonna remember the words or not.
So if he [C] doesn't, the joke's on you, you know. _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Am]
He thinks he's got [C] it, so this is it.
This is called The [F] Comedians [C] by Elvis Costello and Roy Orbison.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I sat [G] there alone up [C] on the ferris wheel
A pastel color carried in [F] the air
I [Dm] thought you'd leave [A] me dangling for [Dm] a little while
A silly twist [F] upon a childish [G]
day
Below [C] I saw [G] you whisper to [C] another man
Who held the lever that could bring [F] me down
[Dm] _ It stopped the world [A] from turning [Dm] at your command
It's always [F] something cruel that laughs [G] to drown
And I'm up while [C] the dawn is breaking
Even though [F] my heart is aching
I should be drinking [Gb] a toast
To that [G] soon friend
Instead [Ab] of thee to [C] meet him
[G] I [Am] _
_ [E] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
[Am] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ can hardly [G] hear the music [C] from the carousel
The wind picks up the carriage, [F] starts to sway
[Am] As one by [E] one the lights go [Am] out, it's closing time
[G] I see you take his hand and walk away, [C] walk [G] away _ _
[Am] _ [E] They _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
[Bb] _ [F] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ say that [G] you are always [C] the last to know
They say that all that glitters [F] is not gold
_ [Am] It's not just that [E] you're never [Am] coming back to me
[G] It's the bitter way that I was told
_ [C] And I'm up while [F] the dawn is breaking
Even though [Bb] my heart is aching
I should be drinking [B] a [Bm] toast
To [C] that soon friend
Instead of thee to meet [F] him _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
