[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][G][Bm][Em]
[G][Bm][G]
[Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Pretty [Em]Elaina
My fair [Am]lady[Em]
[G]She walked the[B] high wire
[Em]back in [G]the 80's
Feathers and sequins
[Bm]She shined like [Em]a ch[C]andelier
Hanging [G]from the top tent [B]rafters
'Til the spot[Em]light disappeared

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][Em]

[Verse 2]
[G]Harlan [Bm]Giovanni
[Em]What a sight to see
The [G]way he earned her [B]trust
was on [Em]a twenty foot trapeze
[G]She fell so har[Bm]d because
he [Em]always let [Am]her fly[C]
'Til he [G]left her heart sus[B]pended
In [Em]a cotton candy [C]sky
She still don't know [Cm]why
[C]Every show

[Verse 3]
[Em]must end[G]
Every [Em]circus leaves [G]town
[Em]You don't know the mag[D]ic's gone
Un[C]til the lights go down
Now she's [Em]back in Nacog[G]doches
And I hear [Em]she's doing [G]well
She [Em]only misses [G]Harlan
when she [C]hears a carousel
[G]

[Interlude 2]
[Em][G][Bm][G][Em]
[G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Pretty [Em]Elaina
Made herself a nest
Her se[G]quins and [B]her secrets
Buried [Em]in her cedar ch[G]est
No one around [Bm]here knows
[Em]about her other [C]life
Johnny [G]Davis went [B]and made her
[Em]a mama and [Am]a wife[C]
And maybe that's [Cm]alright

[Verse 5]
[Cm]'Cause every[C] show [Em]must end[G]
Every [Em]circus leaves [G]town
[Em]You don't know the mag[D]ic's gone
Un[C]til the lights go down
Now she's [Em]back in Nacog[G]doches
And I hear [Em]she's doing [G]well
She [Em]only misses [G]Harlan
when she [C]hears a carousel
[G]

[Interlude 3]
[Em][G][Em][G][Em][D][C]

[Verse 6]
[G]Smith County Fair
[Em]Mid [Am]September[Em]
[G]She walks the[Bm] midway
[Em]And smiles when she re[C]members

[Verse 7]
Every [Em]show must [G]end
Every [Em]circus leaves [G]town
I [Em]didn't know the ma[D]gic left
'Til [C]all the lights went down
Now I'm [Em]back in Nacog[G]doches
And I [Em]swear I'm doing [G]well
I [Em]only miss my [G]Harlan when
I [C]hear the carousel
[G]I onl[Em]y miss my Har[G]lan
when I [C]hear the carousel
