Standard (EADGBE)

 You should have been there when the

 Time was right for the music to begin

 You shoulda been there when that band of gypsies started rolling in

 You should seen it you'da swore for sure the circus came to town

 There were ladies ridin bareback and the mystery man

 All painted like a clown

 You should seen October feelin like I never felt before

 Flashin up New England skies like the fires of the revoluntionary

 war

 You should heard the music comin down like the hardest rain that ever

 fell

 Waking up in the afternoons

 With a hundred lovers feedin in the same motel

 Take me away take me away take me away

 Take me away take me away take me away

 Take me away take me away take me away

 Take me away take me away take me away

 To the place where the greatest show on earth is playing

 High on your highway

 You shoulda seen me I've been told I had a smile upon my face

 Slippin from state to state ending up in a drunken state of grace

 It wasn't very long ago I used to say this kind of life is rough

 You shoulda been there but I can tell you even that was not enough

 Take me away take me away take me away

 Take me away take me away take me away

 Take me away take me away take me away

 Take me away take me away take me away
