Little man with his eyes on fire
And his smile so bright
In his hands are the toys you gave
That fill his heart with delight
In a ring stands a circus clown
Holding up a knife
What you see and what you hear
Will last you the rest of your life
It's sad, so sad
There aint no easy way 'round
It's sad, so sad
All your friends gather round'
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
Till the end of the line
Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night
When I smile I'll be thinking of you
And everything will be alright
It's sad, so sad
There aint no easy way 'round
It's sad, so sad
All your friends gather round'
Cause the circus left town
It's sad, so sad
There aint no easy way 'round
It's sad, so sad
All your friends gather round'
Cause the circus left town
Verse chords!
Enjoy it! I found the other versions really confusing,
so I decided to tab down the way I play it , including
the little riff. Have fun playing it but just before ,
listen to the song (Pilgrim album track 6) to get the
chords place right because I think it's a pretty hard one
to play , so enjoy it!
