VERSE 1:
C F G4 F
Yesterday a child came out to wonder.
C F Gsus G7
Caught a dragon-fly inside a jar
C F Em7
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
F C F C Csus C
?and tearful at the falling of a star
C F G4 F
Then the child moved 10 times round the seasons.
C F Gsus G7
Skated over 10 clear frozen streams
C F Em7
Words like "when you're older" must ap-pease him
F C F C Csus C
And promises of "someday" make his dreams
CHORUS:
C G4 F C
And the seasons they go round and round
G4 F C
and the painted ponies go up and down
F C Csus C
We're captive on a carousel of time
F Em7 F
We can't return, we can only look be-hind from where we came
Em7 F G4 F C Csus C
And go round and round and round in the circle game.
VERSE 2:
C F G4 F
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
C F Gsus G7
Skated over ten clear frozen streams

Words like when you're older must appease him
F C F C Csus C
And promises of someday make his dreams
CHORUS:
C G4 F C
And the seasons they go round and round
G4 F C
and the painted ponies go up and down

We're captive on a carousel of time

And go round and round and round in the circle game.
VERSE 3:
C F G4 F
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now.
C F Gsus G7
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
C F Em7
And they tell him take your time it won't be long now,
F C F C Csus C
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

C G4 F C
And the seasons they go round and round

VERSE 4:
C F G4 F
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty,
C F Gsus G7
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
C F Em7
There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty.
F C F C Csus C
Before the last revolving year is through
CHORUS:
C G4 F C
And the seasons they go round and round
G4 F C
and the painted ponies go up and down

We're captive on a carousel of time

And go round and round and round in the circle game.

And go round and round and round in the circle game.
