NOTES: Good luck recreating the chorus on an acoustic. *grin*
INTRO: Am E7/B* C E7/B
VERSE:
Am E7/B C E7/B
Hangman's in the noose
Am E7/B C E7/B
the prisoner is loose
Am E7/B
the wheel has come around
C E7/B Am E7/B C E7/B
and the velvet curtain's coming down
Am E7/B
I left it there
C E7/B
a suitcase on the chair
Am E7/B
I feel my weight
C E7/B
and something tells me
Am E7/B
there's a river underground
C E7/B Am E7/B D4* Dm
in a place where there's no one to be found
CHORUS:
E
And no one came to see
C
the oldest show in town
E
And no one came to see
C
the oldest show in town
E
And no one came to see
C
the oldest show in town
Am E7/B* C E7/B
VERSE:
Santa's on the cross
and innocence is lost
the music's in your mind
and the windscreen wipers move in time
CHORUS:
No one came to see
the oldest show in town
no one came to see
the oldest show in town
(continue chorus chords under rap)
and the stranger was a ghost
the killer was a priest
took the first excuse
made the madness seem cute lipped
on your own you'll find there's no escape
there are many ways to choose
and I don't know which one you should take
VERSE:
A home is all you want
on the back of a truck driving down the street
it doesn't seem so much
but it's all you need to make your life complete
CHORUS:
No one came to see
the oldest show in town
no one came to see
the oldest show in town
speak --
I lean the slightest bit toward you
white turns into brown, light goes to black
your eyes danced in my reflection
and the horse ate my trousers
RIDE OUT: E C
