E7 A7 D
[Chorus]
DRingling, RinglingE7, slippin' away
GOnly forty people livinD' there today
DStreets are dusty and the E7bank has been torn down
GIt's a A7dyin' little Dtown
[Verse 1]
DChurch window's broken, that place E7ain't been used in years
GJail don't have a A7sheriff or a DcellA7  
And eDlectric trains, they run by maybe E7once or twice a month
GEasin' it on A7down to Mussel DShellA7  
[Chorus]
DRingling, RinglingE7, slippin' away
GOnly forty people livinD' there today
D'Cause the streets are dusty and the E7bank has been torn down
GIt's a A7dyin' little Dtown
[Bridge]
And aAcross from the bar there's a pile of beer cans
DBeen there twenty seven years
IE7magine all the heartaches and tears in A7twenty seven years of beer
[Verse 2]
So we Dhopped back in the rent-a-car and we E7hit the cruise control
GPretty soon the A7town was out of Dsight
But we Dleft behind a fat barmaid, a E7cowboy and a dog
GBracin' for a A7Ringling Friday Dnight
[Chorus]
DRingling, Ringling, you're juE7st slippin' away
I Gwonder how many people will be Dthere a year from today
D'Cause the streets are dusty and the E7bank has been torn down
GIt's a A7dyin' little Dtown
YeahE7, it's a A7dyin' little Dtown
