A C G
A C G
[Verse 1]
AWhere in the wCorld Ghave you bAeen
It's as strCange as GI've ever lAived
So you're Ccoming Galong to the sAide show
I'll be fCalling all Gover like Adominoes
For Cgirls are Gsad in their Aeyes
Their all stGanding arCound being hAypnotized
And wCalking me Gback to the fAiring line
[Verse 2]
You smCiled agGain in the Adoor
You cCan't keep it clGosed anymAore
Tell your mCa that you've gGone to the fAreak show
I'm crCawling all Gover the cAarnival
Just scrCatching a stGitch in the Askin
I'm mCoaning for mGore other medAicine
In the Cmorning you're wGondering whAere you've been
Just tCurning your bGack to the Aghosts
And trCying to lGook like you jAust might know
That aCll the gGood that you've sAeen
Just went dCown and Gentered the dAream
[Chorus]
All the kCids and their Gstraight out nAow
In the mCorning GI want to fAind it all out
Honey whCat Gcan bAe
It's as strCange as GI've ever sAeen
The gCirls are dGead in their eAyes

And fCollow me bGack to the Afreak show
I'm cCrawling all Gover the cAarnival
And I   Cam   Ghome

Just stCanding Garound like their hAypnotized
And fCollow me bGack to the Afreak show
I'm cCrawling all Gover the cAarnival

Mark Lanegan - Carnival

Standard A C and G work fine and flow a lot better than bar chords do for me.

[Intro]

A C G

[Verse 1]

A C G A

Where in the world have you been

C G A

It's as strange as I've ever lived

C G A

So you're coming along to the side show

C G A

I'll be falling all over like dominoes

C G A

For girls are sad in their eyes

G C A

Their all standing around being hypnotized

C G A

And walking me back to the firing line

[Verse 2]

C G A

You smiled again in the door

C G A

You can't keep it closed anymore

C G A

Tell your ma that you've gone to the freak show

C G A

I'm crawling all over the carnival

C G A

Just scratching a stitch in the skin

C G A

I'm moaning for more other medicine

C G A

In the morning you're wondering where you've been

C G A

Just turning your back to the ghosts

C G A

And trying to look like you just might know

C G A

That all the good that you've seen

C G A

Just went down and entered the dream

[Chorus]

C G A

All the kids and their straight out now

C G A

In the morning I want to find it all out

C G A

Honey what can be

C G A

It's as strange as I've ever seen

C G A

The girls are dead in their eyes

C G A

Just standing around like their hypnotized

C G A

And follow me back to the freak show

C G A

I'm crawling all over the carnival

C G

And I am home

[Chorus]

C G A

All the kids and their straight out now

C G A

In the morning I want to find it all out

C G A

Honey what can be

C G A

It's as strange as I've ever seen

C G A

The girls are dead in their eyes

C G A

Just standing around like their hypnotized

C G A

And follow me back to the freak show

C G A

I'm crawling all over the carnival

C G

And I am home
