Carnival by Natalie Merchant from «Tigerlily»
F#m E
Well I’ve walked these, streets a virtual stage it seemed to me
D F#m
make-up on their face actors took their place next to me.
F#m E
Well I’ve walked these streets in a Carnival of sites to see
D
All the cheap thrill seekers the vendors and the dealers
F#m
they crowded around me
A
Have been blind , have I been lost
E
Inside myself and my own mind
D
Hypnotize Mesmerize
F#m
by what my eyes have seen
F#m E
I’ve walked these streets in a spectacle of wealth and poverty
D
In the diamond market the scarlet welcome carpet
F#m
they’ve laid, just rolled out for me
F#m E
and I ‘ve walked these streets in the madhouse asylum they can be
D
where a wild and misfit profit, a traffic island star
F#m
and he raves of saving me
A
Have I been wrong have I been wise
E
to shut my eyes and play along
D
Hypnotized, Paralyzed
F#m
by what my eyes have found
By what my eyes have seen, What they have seen
(SOLO)
