[Verse 1]
G C G
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
C D7
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
G C Bm
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
C G Am7 G C G
And tearful at the falling of a star
[Chorus]
G Am7 G
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
Am7 G
And the painted ponies go up and down
C G
We're captive on the carousel of time
C
We can't return we can only look
Bm C
Be-hind from where we came
G Am7
And go 'round and 'round and 'round
G C G
In the circle game
[Verse 2]
G C G
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
C D7
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
G C Bm
Words like "when you're older" must appease him
C G Am7 G C G
And promises of someday make his dreams
[Chorus]
G Am7 G
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
Am7 G
And the painted ponies go up and down
C G
We're captive on the carousel of time
C
We can't return we can only look
Bm C
Be-hind from where we came
G Am7
And go 'round and 'round and 'round
G C G
In the circle game
[Verse 3]
G C G
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
C D7
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
G C Bm
And they tell him take your time it won't be long now
C G Am7 G C G
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
[Chorus]
G Am7 G
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
Am7 G
And the painted ponies go up and down
C G
We're captive on the carousel of time
C
We can't return we can only look
Bm C
Be-hind from where we came
G Am7
And go 'round and 'round and 'round
G C G
In the circle game
[Verse 4]
G C G
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
C D7
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
G C Bm
There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
C G Am7 G C G
Be-fore the last re-volving year is through
[Chorus]
G Am7 G
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
Am7 G
And the painted ponies go up and down
C G
We're captive on the carousel of time
C
We can't return we can only look
Bm C
Be-hind from where we came
G Am7
And go 'round and round and 'round
G
In the circle game
