Chords for The Circle Game - Joni Mitchell (cover)

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Gm] _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Yesterday a child [F]
came out [C] to wander _ _ _ _ _ Caught a [F] dragonfly _ inside [G] a jar _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ Fearful when the [F] sky was full [Em] of thunder _ _ _ [C] And [F] _ tearful [C] at the falling of a _ star _ _
And the seasons, they go round and round And the pinky ponies go [D] up [C] and down
We're [F] captive [Dm] on a carousel [C] of time _ We _ _
[F] _ can't return, [Dm] we can only look _
[Em] behind
From where [Fm] we came And [C] going _ round [Em] and round [Dm] in a circle [C] _ game _ _ _ _ _
Then the child moved [F] ten times round [C] the _ seasons _ _ _ _ Skated over [F] ten clear frozen [G] _ streams
_ _ Words _
[C] _ like, when [F] you're older, must [E] _ appease _ [Em] him _ [F] And promises [C] of sin, they make his dreams _ _ _ _
And the seasons, they go [Dm] round [C] and round And the pinky ponies [Dm] go up [C] and down
_ [F] We're captive [Dm] on a carousel [C] of time We _ _ _
[F] _ can't return, [Dm] we can only look _
[Em] behind
From where [Fm] we came And [C] going round and round _ [F] in a circle [C] _ game _ _ _ _ _
_ Sixteen springs and [F] sixteen [C] summers gone [F] now [C] _ _ _ _
_ Cartwheels turn to car [F] wheels to the [G] town _ _ _ _ _
[C] And they tell him, take [F] your time, it [Em] won't be long _ _ _ [F] Till you drag your feet [C] too slow, the [Dm] _
[C] circle's done
[F] [C] And _ _ the seasons, they go [Dm] round [C] and round And the pinky ponies [Dm] go up [C] and down
We're [F] captive [Dm] on a carousel [C] of time _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] We can't [Dm] return, we can only look [E]
behind
[Em] From [Fm] where we came And [C] going _ round and [Dm] round in a circle [C] _ game
_ _ _ So the year's been by [F] and all the boy is [C] _ twenty _ _ Though his dreams have lost some [F] grandeur coming [G] true _ _ _ _ _
[C] There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams [Em] in _ plenty _ _ _ [C]
[F] Before the last [C] _ revolving _ year's due
And _ _ the seasons, they go round and round And the pinky ponies go [Dm] up [C] and down
We're captive [Dm] on a carousel [C] of time _ We _ _
_ [F] can't [Dm] return, we can only look [Em] behind
From where [Fm] we came And [C] _ _ going round and round in [Dm] a [C] circle _ game
[F] [C] Round _ _ _ _ and round [Dm] and round in a circle [C] _ game _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
