[Intro 1]
[G][Am][G][C][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Yesterday
[C]a child came out to [G]wonder
Caught a [C]dragonfly in[G]side
[D]a jar[Dsus4][C][G]
Fearful when [C]the sky was full [G]of [Bm]thunder
And [C]tearful at the [G]falling of a [C]star[G]
And the seasons they go
round [Am]and [G]round
And the painted ponies go
up [C]an d [G]down[C]
We're captive on the carousel of [G]time
[C]We can't return we can
only [G]look be[Bm]hind
From where we [C]came
And go [G]round and round and [Em]round
In [G]the circle [C]game[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Then the child moved [C]ten times
round [G]the seasons
Skated over [C]ten clear frozen
[D]stream[C]s
[G]Words like, when you're [C]older,
[G]must [Bm]ap pease him
And [C]promises of [G]someday
make his dreams
And the seasons they go
round [Am]and [G]round
And the painted ponies go
up [C]an d [G]down[C]
We're captive on the carousel of [G]time
[C]We can't return we can
only [G]look be[Bm]hind
From where we [C]came
And go [G]round and round and [Em]round
In [G]the circle [C]game[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Sixteen [C]springs and sixteen
summers gone [G]now
Cartwheels turn [C]to car wheels
[G]through the [D]town[Dsus4][C]
And [G]they tell him,
Take your time,
[C]it [G]won't be [Bm]long now
[G]Till [C]you drag your feet to
[G]slow the circles down
And the seasons they go
round [Am]and [G]round
And the painted ponies
go up [C]an d [G]down[C]
We're captive on the carousel of [G]time
[C]We can't return we can
only [G]look be[Bm]hind
From where we [C]came
And go [G]round and round and round
[Em]In t[G]he circle ga[C]me[G]

[Verse 4]
So [G]the years spin by [C]and now
the boy [G]is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some
[C]grandeur [D]coming [C]true
[G]There'll be new dreams,
maybe [C]better dream[G]s a[Bm]nd plenty
Be[C]fore the last re[G]volving
year is [C]through[G]
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go
up [C]an d [G]down[C]
We're captive on the carousel [G]of time
[C]We can't return,
we can only [G]look be[Bm]hind
From where we [C]came
And go [G]round and round and [Em]round
In [G]the circle [Em]game[G][C][G]

[Verse 5]
And go [G]round [Bm]and round[G]
and [Am]round
[G]In the circle [C]game
