[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][E][A][D][G][D][E][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[E]Ringling,
Ringling
Slippin' away
[G]Only forty people,
[D]livin' there today
Streets are dusty and the [E]bank
has been torn [G]down
It's a [A]dy in' little [D]town

[Verse 2]
[D]Church windows broken
That place [E]ain't been used in years
[G]Jail don't have [A]a sheriff or [D]a cell[A]
And [D]electric trains they run by maybe
[E]once or twice a [G]month
Easin' it on [A]down to Mussel shell

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 3]
[E]Ringling, Ringling
Slippin' away
[G]Only forty people livin'
[D]there today
'Cause the streets are dusty and
[E]the bank had been torn [G]down
It's a [A]dy in' little [D]town

[Verse 4]
And [A]across from the bar there's
a pile of beer cans
[D]Been there twenty-seven years
years
[E]Imagine all the heart aches and tears
In twenty-sev[A]en years years of beer

[Verse 5]
So we [D]hopped back in the rental car
and we [E]hit the cruise [G]control
Pretty soon [A]the town was out [D]of sight[A]
Tho we [D]left behind a fat barmaid,
a [E]cowboy and a dog
[G]Racin' for [A]a Ringling Friday
[D]night

[Verse 6]
Ringling, Ringling [A]Your
[D]jus[E]t slippin' away
I [G]wonder how many people will be
[D]there a year from today
'Cause the streets are dusty and the
[E]bank has been torn [G]down
It's a [A]dy in' little [D]town[E]
It's a [A]dyin' little town

[Outro 1]
