Chords with lyrics
Look at our reflections in the water
Making ripples, taking a drink
D7D7
We used to come here when we were schoolboys
A7A7
This ole water hole look like it's changed much to you?
D7D7
Do you think the Lady of the Lake would even remember
A7A7
The battles we staged for her favor?
A7A7
Do you remember it got so dark and late
A7A7
We had to start the games the next morning just to save her
E MajorE
Leave it all for the crack and whistle
A7A7
Of the carnival train headed for town
A augmentedA
Now there are children buying candy
Young girls talking all 'bout love & hate
D MajorD
Boys spin from the high ride
A augmentedA
Old man coming home late
D MajorD
Outside the woodshed
D MajorD
Wondering what he's gonna say
G+G
Mom's been asleep listening to the short waves
Riff (see below)
Hanging onto magazines from far away
Riff:

A7A7
Look at our reflections in the mirror
Long and big and short and small
D7D7
This funhouse gonna distort and shake
A7A7
Worlds we might really never know at all
D7D7
You think if we keep coming back
A7A7
The carnival stay on the edge of town for keeps?
A7A7
When everybody be happy, we all be laughing in the streets
E MajorE
No, I couldn't conjure up a sadder sound
A7A7
Than the crack and whistle headed for another town
A augmentedA
Chickens don't know what bit 'em
The cousin of the little snake boy
D MajorD
The twins there look like spacemen
A augmentedA
And the ponies look like toys
D MajorD
Peekin' underneath the sideshow tent
D MajorD
Like looking for monsters 'neath the bed
G+G
Junior's running home to mama
Riff
I heard he won't come back here this year again
A augmentedA
The children line up for candy
Young girls whisper all about love & hate
D MajorD
And the boys tell glory stories
A augmentedA
Jobs and school started late
D MajorD
Carnival's packed and gone
A augmentedA
Ahead of the names and the fames and the names and the rains (?)
G+G
Mom and dad didn't go to bed last night
Riff
They were out there playing out by the lake
See everybody knows they're home
Everybody knows they're home
Everybody knows they're home
Everybody knows they're home
So sit back, and learn, and learn
Play a slide trombone
