                WHEN THE CIRCUS COMES
                     LOS LOBOS
CAPO: 3rd FRET
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G
Could have had a chance to get out of this wreck
    Em
The time that you came and the day that you left
            C
Could have had a chance
            G
Could have had a chance
[Verse]
  G
Never thought I could make it this far
       Em
With a dent in my soul and a hole in my heart
        C
Never thought I could
        G
Never thought I could
[Chorus]
     D                   Am
But when the lights are turning round
      D                Am       D
The wheels are rolling on the ground
     G     D         Em          G
The day I burn this whole place down
          F               G
When the circus comes to town
[Verse]
 G
Left your name carved on a tree
  Em
Scratched mine out right in front of me
        C
Didn't mean that much
        G
Didn't mean that much
[Verse]
     D                   Am
But when the lights are turning round
      D                Am       D
The wheels are rolling on the ground
     G     D         Em          G
The day I burn this whole place down
          F               G    D  Em  G  F   F
When the circus comes to town
[Verse]
   G
Scratch your name out on that tree
 Em
Chase your heart right out of me
            C
It doesn't mean that much
            G
It doesn't mean that much
[Chorus]
        D                  Am
'Cause when the lights are turning around
      D                Am       D
The wheels are rolling on the ground
     G     D         Em          G
The day I burn this whole place down
          F               G
When the circus comes to town
          F              F     G
When the circus comes
