(D) (D/C) (D/B) (D/A)

(E7) (A7) (D)

(D) Ringling, Ringling (E7) slippin' away

(G) Only forty people livin' (D) there today

(D) Streets are dusty, and the (E7) bank has been torn down

(G) It's a (A7) dyin' little (D) town

(D) Church window's broken, that place (E7) ain't been used in years

(G) Jail don't have a (A7) sheriff or a (D) cell

And electric trains, they run by maybe (E7) once or twice a month

(G) Easin' it on (A7) down to Mussel (D) Shell

(D) Ringling, Ringling (E7) slippin' away

(G) Only forty people livin' (D) there today

(D) Streets are dusty, and the (E7) bank has been torn down

(G) It's a (A7) dyin' little (D) town

And a(A)cross from the bar there's a pile of beer cans

(D) Been there twenty seven years

Im(E7)agine all the heartaches and tears in (A7) 27 years of beer

So we (D) hopped back in the rent-a-car and we (E7) hit the cruise control

(G) Pretty soon the (A7) town was out of (D) sight

But we left behind a fat barmaid, a (E7) cowboy and a dog

(G) Bracin' for a (A7) Ringling Friday (D) night

(D) Ringling, Ringling (E7) you're just slippin' away

(G) I wonder how many people will be there a (D) year from today

Cause the streets are dusty and the (E7) bank has been torn down

(G) It's a (A7) dyin' little (D) town

(G) Yeah, it's a (A7) dyin' (D) little town
