Peanuts, Popcorn And Crackerjacks Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I wanted [D]to join the cir[G]cus
Ever [E]since I was a lad
[A]And when I b[D]ecame of age[G]
Here's [D]the first [A]job I ever had
[D]Sellin' pea[A]nuts
Peanuts, popcorn, and crackerjack
Pea[D]nuts
Peanuts, popcorn, and crackerjack
I [G]dreamed somehow, some[D]way
I'd move [A]up in the world one [D]day[A]
She [D]was the trapeze [G]artist
The [E]prettiest girl in the show
[A]I fel[D]l in love with Gin[G]a
As I [D]watched her [A]from below
[D]While I was selling pea[A]nuts
Peanuts, popcorn and cracker jack
Pea[D]nuts, peanuts,
popcorn and cracker jack
They [G]cheered her and I felt so [D]proud,
but I was [A]just a face in the [D]crowd[Bb]
I [Eb]wanted so to meet [Ab]her,
but she [F]never looked my [Bb]way
And [Eb]my poor heart kept b[Ab]reaking
a [Eb]little [Bb]more each [Eb]day
[Bb]Sellin' peanuts, peanuts,
popcorn and crackerjacks
Pea[Eb]nuts, peanuts,
popcorn and crackerjacks
Till [Ab]one night I just went w[Eb]ild
Cause she [Bb]looked at me and [Eb]smiled
[Bb]So I rushe[Eb]d out to her trail[Ab]er
Longin' [F]for her warm embrace
[Bb]But when[Eb] I said I love[Ab]d her
She [Eb]laughed right [Bb]in my fa[Eb]ce
[B]My [E]wanting her is hope[A]less
Like [Gb]reaching for a [B]star
But [E]I'll stay with the [A]circus
Just to [E]love her [B]from [E]afar
[B]Sailor Venus, Venus
[E]Venus, Venus
And [A]I'll go on [E]dreamin' of Gin[B]a,

[Outro 1]
the only girl I'll ever love
[E][A][E]
