Circle game

       A 
       Yesterday, a child came out of wonder 
       E E7 
       Caught a dragon fly inside a jar 
       A C#m 
       Fearful, when the sky was full of thunder 
       D A E A 
       And tearful at the falling of the stars 

       And the seasons they go round and round 
       D 
       And the painted points he goes up and down 
       A D 
       We capture on the carousel of town 
       A 
       We can't return we can only look 
       C#m D 
       Behind from where we came 
       A D E A 
       And go round and round and round in the circle game 

       And the child moved ten times 'round the seasons 
       E E7 
       Skated over ten clear frozen streams 
       A C#m 
       Words like, when you're older, must appears him 
       D A E A 
       And promises of someday, make his dreams 
       (repeat *) 

       Sixteen springs and sixteen summers are gone now 
       E E7 
       Cartwheels turned to car's wheels through the town 
       A C#m 
       And you tell him "take your time, it won't be long now" 
       D A E A 
       Till you drag your feet to slow, the circle down 
       (repeat *) 

       So the years'd spin by and now the boy who's twenty 
       E E7 
       Though his dreams have a lot some grandeur coming true 
       A C#m 
       There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty 
       D A E A 
       Before the last revolving year is through 
       (repeat *)
