Carnival is over
AmRain is falling D7down    Fon my paper-cAmrown
The cAmlown’s make-up is D7dry, his lFips are formed to cCry
The Cmaj7dancing crowd is gGone back home, I’m sH7tanding here alE7one
               Am       D7              F      AmA0-A2  
Rain is falling down    on my paper-crown
Refrain
CCarnival is Gover, tChe old king is gGone
                    C              G             F      Am  A3-A2  
The new one’s yet a’waiting, the show must go on
No-one wants to see the secret the clown keeps
Everyone will miss the music and the bliss
The troubadour is going mad under the fool’s cap
And no-one wants to see the secret the clown keeps
Refrain
At the corner in his puke is lying the court-fool
His last silly joke is ended up in smoke
Blowers of the dutch brass band ‘re searching their instruments
At the corner in his puke is lying the court-fool
Refrain
The rain’s still falling down on my paper-crown
I take all high spirits and bin it bit by bit
I cross myself, confess my sins before they day will begin
Rain’s still falling down on my paper-crown
Refrain
