Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Bdim][G][Esus4][Am][E]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I
had a taste of bitter [Bdim]life
[Esus4]At sweet [E]six[F#dim]teen[Am]
I was growing up too [C]fast
If [F]you know what I [Esus4]mean[E][Am]
Met an older man
[Bdim]Who taught me his [E]own way to [Am]live[E]
[Am]And all I had to do to keep him[C]
Was to [F]give and [Esus4]give[E]

[Verse 2]
[Chorus:] [F]The
carousel [Gsus4]man
Kept me [Am]going [F]around an
[C]d r[Am]ound[C]
[F]Carousel [Gsus4]man always know[F]
That I'd stay [C]around[Am]
The [Bb]carousel man
Wouldn't [Gm]let me [Bb]off his
[Esus4]merry - g[E]o- round

[Verse 3]
[Am]I followed him around in
trav[Bdim]eling shows
Along [E]the main [Esus4]county
[E]lin[F#dim]es[Am]
Watching him drinking his mind away
Not ever know[F]ing my name
at [Esus4]time[E][Am]
Each night when [Bdim]the show closed down
He used [E]to tell me of his
[F#m]dreams[E][Am]
He was wearing new French suits
While I men[F]ded my torn
jeans
[Esus4][E]

[Verse 4]
[F]
[Chorus:]
[Gsus4]Then one [F]night i[C]n[Am][C][F][Gsus4][F][C]
[Am]Sant[Bb]a Fe[Gm][Bb][Esus4][E][Am][Bdim]
The horses [E]stop going [Am]around
There he was my poor rich man
[F]Lying on the Mexico [Esus4]ground[E][Am]
All the sad music [Bdim]of his life
Is [Esus4]still spinning in my [E]mind
[Am]The carousel starts up again[C]
And [G]I f[F]ound my place i[E]n life
