🎸 Verse 1:
G+G     Bm7Bm7
 Pretty Elaina
 E minor 7Em7
My fair lady
G+G        B7B7    E minor 7Em7
 She walked the high wire back in the 80’s
G+G       Bm7Bm7
 Feathers and sequins
      E minor 7Em7     C majorC
She shined like a chandelier
     G+G        Bm7Bm7
Hanging from the top tent rafters
      E minor 7Em7
Till the spotlight disappeared

🎸 Instrumental:
| G+G  Bm7Bm7 | E minor 7Em7 |


🎸 Verse 2:
 G+G     Bm7Bm7
Harlan Giovanni
 E minor 7Em7
What a sight to see
   G+G         B7B7      E minor 7Em7
The way he earned her trust was on a 20-foot trapeze
G+G       Bm7Bm7      E minor 7Em7       C majorC
 She fell so hard because he always let her fly
     G+G         B7B7
Till he left her heart suspended
   E minor 7Em7
In a cotton candy sky
C majorC            C minorCm
 She still don’t know why


🎸 Chorus:
    E minorEm   G+G
Every show must еnd
    E minorEm      G+G
Every circus leaves town
 E minorEm         D MajorD
You don’t know thе magic’s gone
  Csus2Csus2
Until the lights go down
      E minorEm      G+G
Now she’s back in Nacogdoches
    E minorEm        G+G
And I hear she’s doing well
  E minorEm      G+G        C majorC        G+G
She only misses Harlan when she hears a carousel

🎸 Instrumental:
| G+G  Bm7Bm7 | E minor 7Em7 | 2x


🎸 Verse 3:
G+G     Bm7Bm7
 Pretty Elaina
 E minor 7Em7
Made herself a nest
   G+G        B7B7
Her sequins and her secrets
    E minor 7Em7
Buried in her cedar chest
G+G     Bm7Bm7       E minor 7Em7       C majorC
 No one around here knows about her other life
    G+G       B7B7     E minor 7Em7
Johnny Davis went and made her a mama and a wife
C majorC          C minorCm
 And maybe that’s alright


🎸 Chorus:
        E minorEm   G+G
‘Cause every show must end
    E minorEm      G+G
Every circus leaves town
 E minorEm         D MajorD
You don’t know thе magic’s gone
  Csus2Csus2
Until the lights go down
      E minorEm      G+G
Now she’s back in Nacogdoches
    E minorEm        G+G
And I hear she’s doing well
  E minorEm      G+G        C majorC        G+G
She only misses Harlan when she hears a carousel


🎸 Instrumental:
| E minorEm  G+G | E minorEm  G+G | E minorEm  D MajorD | Csus2Csus2 |


🎸 Bridge:
G+G       Bm7Bm7
 Smith County Fair
 E minor 7Em7
Mid-September
G+G        Bm7Bm7
 She walks the midway
   E minor 7Em7       C majorC
And smiles when she remembers


🎸 Chorus:
    E minorEm   G+G
Every show must end
    E minorEm      G+G
Every circus leaves town
  E minorEm       D MajorD
I didn’t know the magic left
   Csus2Csus2
Till all the lights went down
     E minorEm      G+G
Now I’m back in Nacogdoches
    E minorEm       G+G
And I swear I’m doing well
 E minorEm      G+G       C majorC       G+G
I only miss my Harlan when I hear a carousel
 E minorEm      G+G       C majorC        G+G
I only miss my Harlan when I hear the carousel
