	Well, the	drunken clown still	hanging 'round, But it's	plain the	laughters	all died down;

	B	A	E
The	tears you tried so	hard to hide are	flowing.

	E	G#m	A	G#m	F#m
	And a blind man with his	knife in hand Has con	vinced him	self that he	understands -

	B	A	E
I	wish him well, Miss Carousel, but	I gotta be a	going.

	Won't you come and	get me when You're	sure that you don't	need me then

	C#m	G#m	A	G#m	B
I'll	stand outside your	window - And I	proudly call your	name!

	E	G#m	A	G#m	F#m
Well the	lady's been told that	all her gold Is	worth so	much, she	can't be sold;

	B	A	E
No	time to weep, she'll	later sleep to	morrow.

	E	G#m	A	G#m	F#m
	When she carries her face to the	market place And	bets it	on the	open enrage -

	B	A	E
She can	ring her bells, Miss Carousel, but the	singing brings me	sorrow.

	C#m	G#m	C#m	G#m
	Won't you come and	get me when You're	sure that you don't	need me then

	C#m	G#m	A	G#m	B
I'll	stand outside your	window - And I	proudly call your	name!

	E	G#m	A	G#m	F#m
Well it's	always done, every	mothers sun Is	surely	grown, and	never run;

	B	A	E
	So they fight with	all their might	inside them.

	E	G#m	A	G#m	F#m
	When the battles been fought 'n	they've all been taught That the	trick is	just not	being caught;

	B	A	E
	Will you give 'em hell, Miss Carousel, When they're	begging you to	hide them.

	C#m	G#m	C#m	G#m
	Won't you come and	get me when You're	sure that you don't	need me then

	C#m	G#m	A	G#m	B
I'll	stand outside your	window - And I	proudly call your	name!

	E	G#m	A	G#m	F#m
All the	castle walls	grown so tall,	Seems there	ain't no	hope at all -

	B	A	E
To	reach the top even	though you stopped your	breathin'.

	E	G#m	A	G#m	F#m
	But I ain't gonna try to	make you cry, The	teardrops	couldn't	find your eye,

	B	A	E
It's	all been swell, Miss Carousel, the	time has come for	leaving!
