Verse 1:
DmDm
Today we'll turn the parc
Eb MajorEb
Into a journey on a swing
DmDm
And the carousel we're ridin'
G6G6
Like puppets on a string
DmDm
With all the people dressed up
Eb MajorEb DmDm
Almost like it's halloween
Verse 2:
DmDm
Today we'll fly the meadow
Eb MajorEb
On silvermounted beasts
DmDm
And up and down we're glidin'
G6G6
As gulls' wings over seas
DmDm
With all its movement out of bounds
Eb MajorEb D MajorD Am7Am7 D MajorD Am7Am7 D MajorD Am7Am7 D MajorD Am7Am7
Desire to be free
Verse 3:
DmDm
Today we'll guide the horses
Eb MajorEb
From the orchard to the ark
DmDm
And the appletrees surrounding
G6G6
Have lived there from the start
Bridge:

Verse 4:
DmDm
Today we build our fences
Eb MajorEb
And our castles on the beach
DmDm
And the tune we keep on playin'
G6G6
Is all some wicked scheme
DmDm
Made up by hurdy-gurdy men
Eb MajorEb D MajorD Am7Am7 D MajorD Am7Am7 D MajorD Am7Am7 D MajorD Am7Am7
And crooked balladeers
Verse 5:
DmDm
So why not turn the parc
Eb MajorEb
Into a mental jamboree
DmDm
With generals and gunners
G+G
And TJ on a spree
DmDm
With all the people dyin'
C minorCm DmDm C minorCm
At the shooting gallery
