[Bm] [F#]
[A] [D] Yesterday [A]
a [F#] child came out [A] to wander Caught a dragonfly inside a [Em] jar
[A] Fearful when the [F#] sky was full [C#m] of thunder And [D] tearful at the [A] falling of a star
I'm getting my best out of tune voice on.
Okay, here we go.
And the seasons, they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down
[D] We're captive on the carousel of [A] time
[A]
We can't [D] return, we can only look [C#m] Behind from where [D] we came
[A] And go round and round and round [F#] in the circle [A] game
Then the child moved [F#m] ten times round the [A] season
Skated [F#m] over ten clear [A] frozen
[E] streams
[A] Words like, when you're older, [C#m] must appease him
[D] And promises [A] of someday make up his dreams
And the seasons, they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and [F#m] down
We're captive on the [D] carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look [C#m] Behind from where [D] we came
[A] And go round and round and round in the circle [D] game
[A]
Sixteen [B] springs and sixteen [A] summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through [Bm] the town
[B] [A] Each other, [F#] take your time because it won't be [C#m] long now
Till [D] you drag your feet [A] just to slow the circles down
[D] Here we go.
[A] And the seasons, they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down
[D] We're captive on the [F#m] carousel of time
[A] [F#m] We can't return, we can only look [C#m] Behind from where [D] we came
[A] And go round and [E] round and round [F#] in the circle game
[D] [A] So the years spin [D] by and now the boy [A] is twenty
Though his dreams have lost a [E] lot of grandeur coming true
There'll [A] be new dreams, [B] maybe better dreams
[C#m] There'll be plenty of new dreams
[D] Before the last [A] revolving year is through
And the seasons, they go round and round And the painted ponies go [Bm] up and down
[E] We're captive on the carousel [A] of time
[D] We can't return, we can only look [C#m] Behind from where [F#m] we came
And go round [A] and round and round in the circle [D] game
And [A]
round [Bm] and round in the [A] circle game
