To bridge us into our final report for tonight, a familiar visitor, [B] Joni Mitchell, singing Circle Game.
Yesterday, [E] a child came out to wander
Caught a dragon [B] flying inside a jar
Tearful when the sky was full of [Ebm] thunder
[E] And tearful [B] at the falling of the stars
And the seas, they go round and round
And the pain to ponies goes up and down
[Gb] We're captive [E] on a carousel [B] of time
[E] We can't return, we can only [Ebm] leave
They hide from where [B] we came
And go round and round the circle [E] game
[B] Sixteen springs and sixteen summers [B] gone now
Cartwheels turn to [E] car wheels [Gb] to the town
[B] And they tell him, take [E] your time, it [Ebm] won't be long now
[E] Till you drag your feet to [B] slow the circles down
And the seas, they go round and round
And the pain to ponies goes up and [E] down
We're captive on a carousel [B] of [E] time
We can't return, we can only [Eb] leave
They hide from where [E] we came
And [B] go round and round the circle game
So the years spin by [E] and now the boy [B] is twenty
Though his dreams have lost [E] some [B] grandeur coming true
Though he knew dreams may be better dreams [Ebm] than plenty
[E]
Before the last [B] revolving he rings through
And the seas, they [E] go round [B] and round
And the pain to ponies goes up and down
[E] We're captive on a carousel [B] of time
[E]
We can't return, we can only leave
[Eb] They hide [Ebm] from where we [E] came
And [B] go round and [E] round
[B] And go round and [E] round
And [B] go round and round and [Db] round in the circle game
[E] [B]
Yesterday, [E] a child came out to wander
Caught a dragon [B] flying inside a jar
Tearful when the sky was full of [Ebm] thunder
[E] And tearful [B] at the falling of the stars
And the seas, they go round and round
And the pain to ponies goes up and down
[Gb] We're captive [E] on a carousel [B] of time
[E] We can't return, we can only [Ebm] leave
They hide from where [B] we came
And go round and round the circle [E] game
[B] Sixteen springs and sixteen summers [B] gone now
Cartwheels turn to [E] car wheels [Gb] to the town
[B] And they tell him, take [E] your time, it [Ebm] won't be long now
[E] Till you drag your feet to [B] slow the circles down
And the seas, they go round and round
And the pain to ponies goes up and [E] down
We're captive on a carousel [B] of [E] time
We can't return, we can only [Eb] leave
They hide from where [E] we came
And [B] go round and round the circle game
So the years spin by [E] and now the boy [B] is twenty
Though his dreams have lost [E] some [B] grandeur coming true
Though he knew dreams may be better dreams [Ebm] than plenty
[E]
Before the last [B] revolving he rings through
And the seas, they [E] go round [B] and round
And the pain to ponies goes up and down
[E] We're captive on a carousel [B] of time
[E]
We can't return, we can only leave
[Eb] They hide [Ebm] from where we [E] came
And [B] go round and [E] round
[B] And go round and [E] round
And [B] go round and round and [Db] round in the circle game
[E] [B]
