Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Well the drunken clown still hanging 'round

 but it's plain the laughters all died down

The tears you tried so hard to hide are flowing

And a blind man with his knife in hand

 has convinced himself that he understands

I wish him well, miss Carousel,

 but I gotta be a going

Won't you come and get me when

 You're sure that you don't need me then

 I'll stand outside your window

 and proudly call your name

Well the lady's been told that all her gold

is worth so much she can't be sold

No time to weep, she'll later sleep tomorrow

When she carries her face to the market place

and bets it on the open enrage

She can ring her bells, miss Carousel,

but this singing brings me sorrow

Won't you come and get me when

You're sure that you don't need me then

I'll stand outside your window

and proudly call your name

But it's always done, every mothers sun

is surely grown, and never run

So they fight with all their might inside them

When the battles been fought 'n they all been taught

that the trick is just not being caught

Will you give 'em hell, miss Carousel,

when they're begging you to hide them

Won't you come and get me when

You're sure that you don't need me then

I'll stand outside your window

and proudly call your name

When they need a rose, your eyes felt closed

You clamped your fingers around your nose

Would you say, that's anyway to judge him

Well you haven't got the authority

too kill him in the first degree

But would you feel compelled, miss Carousel,

if you had something to regret in

Won't you come and get me when

You're sure that you don't need me then

I'll stand outside your window

and proudly call your name

On velvet beach far beneath the reach

of those who come to pray and preach

The natural man that tried to stand is falling

Well how long will it be before he sees

you own his legs but his mind is free

only you can tell , miss Carousel,

how long will he be crawling

Won't you come and get me when

You're sure that you don't need me then

I'll stand outside your window

and proudly call your name

All the castle walls grown so tall

Seems there ain't no hope at all

to reach the top even though you stopped for breathing

But I ain't gonna try to make you cry

the teardrops couldn't find your eyes

It's all been swell, miss Carousel,

but the time has come for leaving

Won't you come and get me when

You're sure that you don't need me then <-(x4)

I'll stand outside your window

and proudly call your name
