🎸 Intro: G Bm Em ( x2 ) 🎸 Verse 1: G Bm Pretty Elaina Em My fair lady G B Em She walked the high wire back in the 80's G Bm Feathers and sequins Em C She shined like a chandelier G B Hanging from the top tent rafters Em G Bm Em Till the spotlight disappeared G Bm Harlan Giovanni Em What a sight to see G B Em The way he earned her trust was on a 20-foot trapeze G Bm Em C She fell so hard because he always let her fly G B Till he left her heart suspended Em In a cotton candy sky C Cm She still don't know why
🎸 Chorus: Em G Every show must end Em G Every circus leaves town Em D You don't know the magic's gone C Until the lights go down Em G Now she's back in Nacogdoches Em G And I hear she's doing well Em G C G Bm Em G Bm Em She only misses Harlan when she hears a carousel 🎸 Verse 2: G Bm Pretty Elaina Em Made herself a nest G B Her sequins and her secrets Em Buried in her cedar chest G Bm Em C No one around here knows about her other life G B Em Johnny Davis went and made her a mama and a wife C Cm And maybe that's alright 🎸 Chorus: Em G Every show must end Em G Every circus leaves town Em D You don't know the magic's gone C Until the lights go down Em G Now she's back in Nacogdoches Em G And I hear she's doing well Em G C G She only misses Harlan when she hears a carousel 🎸 Interlude: Em G Em G Em D C 🎸 Bridge: G Bm Smith County Fair Em Mid-September G Bm She walks the midway Em C And smiles when she remembers 🎸 Chorus: Em G Every show must end Em G Every circus leaves town Em D You don't know the magic's gone C Until the lights go down Em G Now she's back in Nacogdoches Em G And I hear she's doing well Em G C G She only misses Harlan when she hears a carousel Em G C G I only miss my Harlan when I hear a carousel
