Buckley Tim - Carnival Song guitar tab

Song: Carnival Song

Artist: Tim Buckley

Source: From Goodbye And Hello, 1967

Intro:

{Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /}

Ab Gb/Ab

The singer cries for people's lies

Ab Gb/Ab Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /

He will sing for the day to bring him night

Ab Gb/Ab

The circus burns in carnival flame

Ab Gb/Ab Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /

And for awhile you won't know my name at all

Db B Gb E Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /

But sing and dance and love for pennies and gold

The juggling clown smiles to me

And every frown we agree is glad

The nighttime comes to bring the bums

From Bowery heat to crimson streets of wine

But magic lands will nbever touch our sands

Your children smile in single file

They learn mistakes that others make

They see although they cannot know

The needs they'll need to have their greed grow wild

But dance and sing for others bring the shame

Db B Gb E Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /

And for awhile you won't know my name

{Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /} (to fade)

****

No guitar on this song that I could hear, but this arrangement

is sufficient for guitar. It's in 3/4 time, and it sounds all right

if pluck the bass string on the first beat and strum the chord on beats

2 and 3. Enjoy (hopefully)...
