verse 1 
B E                             
  Candy spun in little clouds 
     B                                
That melted as it touched his mouth 
E                                 
Made him want to smile out loud 
B               F#       
Laughter in the taste 
  E                                   
A spinning wheel that stood so high 
B                                
Many splendored code of lights 
F#                              
Carried him right to the sky 
    E                 B     
And took his breath a-way 
    B 
And Ruby did her dance again 
        B 
And the way she danced entranced the men 
    B 
And left their minds entangled in 
    E          B      
The fever of desire 
  B 
Upon the stage her mama sat 
    B 
The billboard said two tons of fat - yeah 
  B 
Slightly to the right of that 
       E               B                   
Oh her daddy swallowed fire - yes he did 

verse 2 
  B 
A tattooed man stood tall and thin 
    B 
His life engraved upon his skin 
     B 
From birth to death and back again 
         E             B                 
And some wishes left unfilled - uh hmm 
  B 
A flipping twisting acrobat 
  B 
A midget with a magic hat 
  B 
A world of fantasy and fact 
          E            B        
Where the laughter overspills 
         E                        
Lord the wonder was unspeakable 
    B                                 
And too much to take in all at once 
E                                 B        
Too much is often worser than too little 
    F#       
Sometimes 
E                                        
He just sat there in his daddy's truck 
B                                 
Deaf and dumb and thunderstruck 
F#                      
The wonder of it all 
           E                B      
Was almost too much for his mind 

verse 3 
        B 
Now the march of time has slowed his pace 
        B 
And the child is gone now from his face 
    B 
And with his grandson in his place 
     E             B       
He remembers other times 
   B 
He marveled at the barker's call 
        B 
And the decorated canvas wall 
        B 
And the gamble wonder of it all 
       E              B      
Echoes clearly in his mind 
E                             
Candy spun in little clouds 
     B                                
That melted as it touched his mouth 
E                                 
Made him want to smile out loud 
B               F#       
Laughter in the taste 
  E                                   
A spinning wheel that stood so high 
B                                
Many splendored code of lights 
F#                              
Carried him right to the sky 
    E                B                                      
And took his breath away - ah ah ah - ah ah ah - ah ah ah
