[/] [A] Yesterday a [/] [D] child came out to [/] [A] wonder [/] [A] [/] 
[/] [A] Caught a dragon [/] [D] fly inside a [/] [E7] jar [/] [E7] [/] 
[/] [A] Fearful when the [/] [D] sky was full of [/] [C#m7] thunder [/] [C#m7] 
And [/] [D] tearful at the [/] [A] falling [C#m7↓] of [D↓] a [/] [A] star [/] [A] [/] 


{soc}
And the [/] [A] seasons, they go [/] [C#m7↓] round [D↓] and [A] 'round
And the [/] [A] painted ponies go [/] [C#m7↓] up [D↓] and [A] down [/] 
[/] [D] We're captive on a [/] carousel of [/] [A] time [/] [A] [/]
[/] [D] We can't return, we can [/] only look be- [/] [C#m7] hind from where we [/] [D] came
And go [/] [C#m7] 'round and 'round and [/] [D] 'round in the [E7] circle [/] [A] game [/] [A]
{eoc}


[A] Then the child moved [D] ten times 'round the [A] seasons [A] 
[A] Skated over [D] ten clear frozen [E7] streams [E7]
[A] Words like, when you're [D] older, must [C#m7] appease him [C#m7]
And [D] promises of [/] [A] someday [C#m7↓] make [D↓] his [/] [A] dreams [/] [A]


{soc}
And the [/] [A] seasons, they go [/] [C#m7↓] round [D↓] and [A] 'round
And the [/] [A] painted ponies go [/] [C#m7↓] up [D↓] and [A] down [/] 
[/] [D] We're captive on a [/] carousel of [/] [A] time [/] [A] [/]
[/] [D] We can't return, we can [/] only look be- [/] [C#m7] hind from where we [/] [D] came
And go [/] [C#m7] 'round and 'round and [/] [D] 'round in the [E7] circle [/] [A] game [/] [A]
{eoc}


[A] Sixteen springs and [D] sixteen summers gone [A] now [A]  
[A] Cartwheels turn to [D] car wheels through the [E7] town [E7]
And they [A] tell him, take your [D] time it won't be [C#m7] long now [C#m7]
'Till you [D] drag your feet to [/] [A] slow the [C#m7↓] cir- [D↓] -cles [/] [A] down [/] [A]


{soc}
And the [/] [A] seasons, they go [/] [C#m7↓] round [D↓] and [A] 'round
And the [/] [A] painted ponies go [/] [C#m7↓] up [D↓] and [A] down [/] 
[/] [D] We're captive on a [/] carousel of [/] [A] time [/] [A] [/]
[/] [D] We can't return, we can [/] only look be- [/] [C#m7] hind from where we [/] [D] came
And go [/] [C#m7] 'round and 'round and [/] [D] 'round in the [E7] circle [/] [A] game [/] [A]
{eoc}


So the [A] years spin by and [D] now the boy is [A] twenty [A] 
Though his [A] dreams have lost some [D] grandeur coming [E7] true [E7]
There'll be [A] new dreams, maybe [D] better dreams and [C#m7] plenty [C#m7]
Be- [D] fore the last re- [/] [A] volving [C#m7↓] year [D↓] is [/] [A] through [/] [A]


{soc}
And the [/] [A] seasons, they go [/] [C#m7↓] round [D↓] and [A] 'round
And the [/] [A] painted ponies go [/] [C#m7↓] up [D↓] and [A] down [/] 
[/] [D] We're captive on a [/] carousel of [/] [A] time [/] [A] [/]
[/] [D] We can't return, we can [/] only look be- [/] [C#m7] hind from where we [/] [D] came
And go [/] [C#m7] 'round and 'round and [/] [D] 'round in the [E7] circle [/] [A] game [/] [A] [/] 
And go [/] [C#m7] 'round and 'round and [/] [D] 'round in the circle [/] [A] game [/] [A] [/] [A↓]
