_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Yesterday [E] a child came out to [B] wander
_ _ _ _ And _ _ caught a [E] dragonfly [B] inside [F#] a jar
_ And _ _ _ _ [B] _
fearful _ [E] when the [B] skies were full [D#m] of thunder
And _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ tearful at [Bm] the falling [F#] of [B] the stars
_ _ _ _ And the seasons, they go [C#m] round [B] and round _
Painted ponies go up and down
[E]
We're kept on the _ carousel [B] of time
We _ _ _ _ [E] _
can't return, we can only [B] look
_ [D#m]
Behind from where we [E] came
And [B] go round _ _ in a circle again
_ And _ _ _ _ _ then the [E] child moved ten [B] times round the seasons
And _ _ _ _ _ skated over [E] _ ten clear [F#] frozen streams
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ Words [E] like, when [B] you're older, [D#m] you must appease him
And _ _ [B] _ _
[E] _ promises [B] of someday, make his dreams _ _ _ _ _ _
And sixteen springs [E] and sixteen [B] summers gone now _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Cartwheels _ [E] turn to [B] car [F#] wheels through the town
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B]
They tell him, [E] take your time, [B] it [D#m] won't be long now
_ _ _ _ [B] _ [E] _
Until you drag your [B] feet to slow the circles down
_ _ _ _ _ And the seasons, they go round and round _
Painted ponies go up and down
[E] _
We're kept on the _ carousel [B]
of time
We _ _ _ _ [E] _
can't return, we can only look
_ [D#m]
Behind from where [E] we came
[B] And go round and round in a circle again
_ And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ so the child [E] who dreamed, tomorrow now [B] is twenty
_ Those _ _ _ _ dreams have [E] lost some grandeur coming [F#] true _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ There'll be new [E] dreams, maybe [F#] better [D#m] dreams and plenty _
Before _ [B] _ _ [E] _ the [B] last revolving year is through _ _
_ _ And the seasons, they go round and round
_ Painted ponies go up and down
[E] _ We're kept on the _ carousel of [B] time _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] We can't return, we can [B] only look
_ [D#m] Behind from where [E] we came
And [B] go round and _ round in a circle again
_ And _ _ go round and round _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#m] _ in [F#] _
_ _ _ _ a [B] circle again _ _ _ _ _ _ _
