G Bm Em……..
[Verse 1]
G Bm Pretty Elaina
EmMy fair lady
G B Em She walked the high wire back in the 80’s
G Bm Feathers and sequins
Em CShe shined like a chandelier
G BHanging from the top tent rafters
Em G Bm EmTill the spotlight disappeared………
G BmHarlan Giovanni
EmWhat a sight to see
G B EmThe way he earned her trust was on a 20-foot trapeze
G Bm Em C She fell so hard because he always let her fly
G BTill he left her heart suspended
EmIn a cotton candy sky
C Cm She still don’t know why
[Chorus]
Em GEvery show must end
Em GEvery circus leaves town
Em DYou don’t know the magic’s gone
CUntil the lights Go down
Em GNow she’s back in Nacogdoches
Em GAnd I hear she’s doing well
Em G C G Bm Em G Bm EmShe only misses Harlan when she hears a carousel……………
[Verse 2]
G Bm Pretty Elaina
EmMade herself a nest
G BHer sequins and her secrets
EmBuried in her cedar chest
G Bm Em C No one around here knows about her other life
G B EmJohnny Davis went and made her a mama and a wife
C Cm And maybe that’s alright
[Chorus]
Em GEvery show must end
Em GEvery circus leaves town
Em DYou don’t know the magic’s gone
CUntil the lights Go down
Em GNow she’s back in Nacogdoches
Em GAnd I hear she’s doing well
Em G C GShe only misses Harlan when she hears a carousel
[Interlude]
Em G Em G Em D C…………….
[Bridge]
G Bm Smith County Fair
EmMid-September
G Bm She walks the midway
Em CAnd smiles when she remembers
[Chorus]
Em GEvery show must end
Em GEvery circus leaves town
Em DYou don’t know the magic’s gone
CUntil the lights Go down
Em GNow she’s back in Nacogdoches
Em GAnd I hear she’s doing well
Em G C GShe only misses Harlan when she hears a carousel
Em G C GI only miss my Harlan when I hear a carousel
