Amaj7                 B 
Little man with his eyes on fire,
Cdim              C#m  B
And his smile so bright.
Amaj7                  B 
In his hands are the toys you gave,
Cdim                     C#m  B
To fill his heart with delight.
Amaj7                      B 
And in the ring stands a circus clown,
 Cdim          C#m  B
Holding up a knife.
Amaj7              B 
What you see and what you will hear,
     Cdim                          C#m B
Will last you for the rest of your life.

Chorus:
         Amaj7 B
And it's sad, so sad,
Cdim                     C#m   B
There ain't no easy way round.
        Amaj7 G#7
And it's sad, so sad,
Bm7        D           Amaj7
All you friends gather round
           Dmaj7
'Cause the circus left town.

Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine
Stick with me and I'll ride with you
'Til the end of the line
Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night
And when I smile, I'll be thinking of you
And every little thing will be all right

Chorus - x2

The circus left town, left town
The circus left town, left town
