🎸 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
