“Caravan of Fools”

Live on Tiny Desk Concerts (from NPR’s All Songs Considered)

Em   Am
Em   B7
Em

Verse:
    Em
The dark and distant drumming
    Am
The pounding of the hooves
    Em         B7              Em
The silence of everything that moves
Em
Late at night you’ll see them
       Am
Decked out in shiny jewels
    Em            B7         Em
The coming of the caravan of fools

Verse:
         Em
Like the wings of a dove
Am
   The waiter's white glove
         Em             B7           Em
Seems to shimmer by the light of the pool
     Em
Some dog-blinding winter
         Am
When you can't stand to lose
       Em               B7         Em
You're running with the caravan of fools

Chorus:
    Em
The caravan of fools
    Am
The caravan of fools
       Em               B7         Em
You’re running with the caravan of fools

Instrumental:

Em

Verse:
Em
Love and devotion
Am
Deep as any ocean
      Em      B7        Em
Don't play by anybody's rules
          Em
With your carousel of horses
         Am
And your unforeseen forces
       Em               B7         Em
You're running with the caravan of fools

Chorus:
    Em
The caravan of fools
    Am
The caravan of fools
       Em               B7         Em
You’re running with the caravan of fools

Instrumental:
Em   Am
Em   B7
