Sun down, sun down
Asus4 A Asus4 A
They're taking all the tents down
D A
Where have you gone my handsome Billy?
Asus4 A Asus4 A
Sun down, sun down
Asus4 A Asus4 A
The carnival train's leaving town
D A
Where are you now darling Billy?
C#m7 A D
We won't be dancing together on the high wire
C#m7 A D
Facing the lions with you at my side anymore
C#m7 A D
We won't be breathing the smoke and the fire
Asus4 A
On a midway
C#m7
Hanging from the trapeze
A D
My wrists waiting for your wrists
C#m7 A D
Two daredevils high upon the wall of death
C#m7 A D
You throwing the knife, it lands inches from my heart
Asus4 A
Sun down
bridge:
F#m
Moon rise, moon rise
E D A
The light that was in your eyes is gone away
F#m
Daybreak, daybreak
E D A
The thing in you that made me ache is gonna stay
C#m7 A D
We'll be riding the train without you tonight
C#m7
The train that keeps on moving
A D
Its black smoke scorching the evening sky
C#m7 A D
Millions of stars shining above us like every soul living and dead
C#m7
It's been gathered together by God
A D
Sing a hymn over your bones
Asus4 A Asus4 A
Sun down, sun down
Asus4 A Asus4 A
Empty are the fairgrounds
D A
Where are you now handsome Billy?
