[Verse 1]
They say he [D]ran a carnival[G]
Used to [F#m]come t[G]o town
Till [Asus4]one September af[D]ternoon
He shut [Bm]it down.[G][D]
They tell me something [Bm]happened
[G]Some said he [F#m]lost his mind
[G]Now most September[Asus4]
afternoon[D]s
this is what [F#]you’ll find.[Bm]
An old man on [A]the corner [F#m]where
he used to sell his [G]show
Now he [F#m]shouts what sounds [Bm]like foolishness
[Em]as the people come[Asus4] and go[D]

[Verse 2]
[A]New [G]lives [A]for old[Bm]
[A]Warm hearts [G]for cold
[A]Have I got [Bm]a deal for you [F#m]today
[G]Come on step right this way
[Esus4]And get your [E]new [D]lives[Asus4]
for [D]old.
[Asus4]

[Verse 3]
[D]
He puts it in the [Bm]pa per
[G]He goes fro[F#m]m door to door
[G]The people say he'[Asus4]s such a fool
[D]to come back [Bm]for more
[D]Old friends are mostly puz[Bm]zled
[G]They don't know what
to [F#m]say[G]
'Cause ever since [Asus4]that afternoon
[D]he's just been that [F#]way
[Bm]It's like the old man [A]died and s[F#m]omeone
came to take [G]his place,
Now [F#m]he just stands out [Bm]there bellowing,
[Em]smile upon his wrink[Asus4]led face[D].

[Verse 4]
[A]New lives [G]for [A]old[Bm]
[A]Warm hearts [G]for cold
Have [A]I got [Bm]a deal for you [F#m]today
[G]Come on step right this [Esus4]way
And [E]get [D]your [Asus4]new lives for
[D]old.

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][Asus4][D][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]Remembering this sto[Bm]ry as [G]I once
passed [F#m]through that town
[G]I thought I ought to [Asus4]stop and [D]see
if he's still [Bm]around[G]
[D]There was someone on that cor[F#m]ner
where [G]I heard he'd always [F#m]stand
[G]And he chuckled when [Asus4]I asked
where I [D]could find that [F#]man
[Bm]He said thank God that crazy[F#m] fool[Bm]
finally died [G]last spring.
And [F#m]I said I'll take up
[Bsus4]where he left off [B]then
[Em]'Cause I'm pushing the
[Asus4]same thing.
