 Am   G   C   D(x2)
[Verse 1]
  AmIn our town there's no Fcomfort aCround
  FMostly its Ghunger and EmtoiAml
  UnderCground you could Fdig for a Cpound 
  And disFturb the reGmains of a EmroyAmal
[Pre-chorus 1]
  With the Dmpoor left to Emdrown and the sick and the Fold
  Dunno Gwhat trickles Amdown, but it Fsure isn't Ggold
[Chorus 1]
  But I'm here with my Fheart fullC, like a EmcarnivalAm  
  DmSat in my Emvagrant Amcar park
  And no I'm not FKarl MarxC, but it Emmakes me laughAm  
  Like Dmflowers you see Emgrowing on Fstony groundAm  
  And it's Dmtime to be Emgoing, so FfareCwell Gstony FgroundC  
[Verse 2]
  AmIt's a scam that Fmakes a rich Cman
  And Fthis is me Gdoing it Emmy Amway
  You preCfer the term 'FentrepeneurC'
  But Fboth of us Grob on the EmhighAmway
[Pre-chorus 2]
  I just Dmput up my Emstand, then moved it alongF  
  And I Gmade a few Amgrand long beFfore you caught Gon
[Chorus 2]
  Now I'm here with my Fheart fullC, like a EmcarnivalAm  
  DmSat in my Emvagrant Amcar park
  And no I'm not FKarl MarxC, but it Emmakes me laughAm  
  Like Dmflowers you see Emgrowing on Fstony groundAm  
  And it's Dmtime to be Emgoing, so FfareCwell Gstony FgroundC  
[Instrumental]
 Am   G   C   D(x2)
[Verse 3]
  AmIn our town there are Fspirits ground Cdown
  While Fothers are Gliving in EmcloAmver
  they bought Cshares in Fapples and Cair
  And had Feverywhere Gmostly paved EmoveAmr
[Pre-chorus 3]
  In this Dmone square of Emplanet that nobody ownsF  
  You Gwon't see the Amrich man drive Fover my Gbones
[Chorus 3]
  Cos I'm here with my Fheart fullC, like a EmcarnivalAm  
  DmSat in my Emvagrant Amcar park
  And no I'm not FKarl MarxC, but it Emmakes me laughAm  
  Like Dmflowers you see Emgrowing on Fstony groundAm  
  And it's Dmtime to be Emgoing, so FfareCwell Gstony FgroundC  
[Chorus 4]
  And I'm here with my Fheart fullC, like a EmcarnivalAm  
  DmSat in my Emvagrant Amcar park
  And no I'm not FKarl MarxC, but it Emlights the darkAm  
  Like a Dmfair you see Emshowing on Fstony groundAm  
  And it's Dmtime to be Emgoing, so FfareCwell Gstony FgroundC
