Title: This Carnival Is Dead And Gone

Am

Am
Dear sir dear lady
      G           Em
This carnival is dead and gone
Am                         G          Bm     Am
And never anyway alas this party never yet began

The chairs and tables dust of dust
G                Em      Am
Yes verydust of veryrust of verymust and farewelltrust
   G                  Bm        Am
I thought I saw you in the crowd dear heart
                              G                 Em
You turned away from me and then you dissolved into light
     Am                Bm
The broken lights and faded buntings
G                          Fmaj7
Call to us all the inmost light
                                   G
And don't glare wide your eyes in wonder
      Em              Fmaj7
They will flick back inside your mind
                       G
And on the bonescreen of your skull
      Bm       Am
They watch no musical salutes
               G         Em   Am
So thoroughly modern now we are
But the last reel of all time
G                Am
The inmost night

Its frames are glared and slow and out of focus
G            Em            Am
Valentino Vallee Moss all dead!

The inmost night
          G         Bm    Am
And the little bells go tinkle

And your eyes begin to twinkle
         G                 Em
And the joints and sinews crack
Am                                G
It's the expansion of your mind death
Death
Death
Death

Fmaj7       Am
The inmost night
     G          Em                Am
The cat's face glares from shiny card

The deadcat from my past
      G         Bm        Am
You tumble you froth and fun forever
   Fmaj7          Am
An orchestra from another time
G              Em
Another world all dead
      Am                                      G                Bm Am
The churchbells silent the rainstained glass of God is smashed

And you take your choice you sup with the devil
     G                  Em
You choke on your pride for ever and ever
    Fmaj7                         G               Bm   Am
My memory of my inmost light it tumbles froth and fun forever
                                   G
Vulvaic memories imagined of my would-be-life
      Em
Well that won't be
     Am
And that won't be

And that won't be
G         Bm
And that won't be
Fmaj7
And for my troubles and my pain
G                  Em
And for the losses and the wains
   Am
I get a picture in my mind
     G         Bm  Am
The slyly smily smiling kiss
              G
Of your sweet heart and face
Em                          Am
And your legs in some final benediction
                            G
Your inmost warmheart says ta-ra
          Bm    Am
And I wished to die inside of you
                      G         Em
And push up into your heart so violently that
Am                                 G
Face to face with matrix creatrix am
               Bm Am
The inmost light

The inmost night

A last tip:
Intead of playing Bm Am, you can also play Bm Am G Am instead (all with short strums of course).
