[Verse 1]

E MajorE             A augmentedA
You can walk on the water,
E MajorE         A augmentedA
drown in the sand
E MajorE                      A augmentedA
You can fly off a mountaintop if anybody can
E MajorE                           A augmentedA
Run away, run away   --   it's the restless age
E MajorE                     A augmentedA
Look away, look away--you can turn the page

[Pre-Chorus]

   A augmentedA        A7A7            E MajorE
Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
E MajorE
Here on the street
F# minorF#m  E/G#     A augmentedA    B7sus       E MajorE
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet


[Chorus]

E MajorE     A/EA/E    E MajorE      A/EA/E
Life is a carnival--believe it or not
E MajorE      A/EA/E   E MajorE     A/EA/E
Life is a carnival--two bits a shot


[Verse 2]

E MajorE            A augmentedA
Saw a man with the jinx
E MajorE          A augmentedA
in the third degree
E MajorE
From trying to deal with people, people you can't see
E MajorE                      A augmentedA
Take away, take away, this house of mirrors
E MajorE                    A augmentedA
Give away, give away, all the souvenirs

[Pre-Chorus]

   A augmentedA        A7A7            E MajorE
We're all in the same boat ready to float off the edge of the world
E MajorE
The flat old world
F# minorF#m  E/G#     A augmentedA       B7sus         E MajorE
The street is a sideshow from the peddler to the corner girl


[Chorus]

E MajorE     A/EA/E    E MajorE      A/EA/E
Life is a carnival, it's in the book
E MajorE     A/EA/E    E MajorE      A/EA/E
Life is a carnival, take another look


[Pre-Chorus]

   A augmentedA        A7A7            E MajorE
Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
E MajorE
Here on the street
F# minorF#m  E/G#     A augmentedA    B7sus       E MajorE
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet


[Chorus]

E MajorE     A/EA/E    E MajorE      A/EA/E
Life is a carnival, believe it or not
E MajorE     A/EA/E    E MajorE      A/EA/E
Life is a carnival, two bits a shot


[Outro]

E MajorE     A/EA/E
Life is a carnival
E MajorE     A/EA/E
Life is a carnival
E MajorE     A/EA/E
Life is a carnival
