Carnival - Natalie Merchant | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
F#m | E | D | F#m 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
F#m
   Well I've walked these streets
             E
A virtual stage
It seemed to me
D
Makeup on their faces
                             F#m
Actors took their places next   to me

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
F#m
   Well I've walked these streets
In a carnival
E
 Of sights to see
D
All the cheap thrillseekers
The vendors and the dealers
     F#m
They crowded around me

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
A
 Have I been blind?
            E
Have I been lost?
Inside myself and my own mind?
D
Hypnotized, mesmerized
               F#m
By what my eyes   have seen

[Verse 2]
---------------------
F#m
   Well I've walked these streets
              E
In a spectacle of wealth and poverty
D
 In the diamond market
The scarlet welcome carpet
     F#m
That they just rolled out for me

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
   F#m
And   I've walked these streets
         E
In the madhouse asylum
They can be
        D
Where a wildeyed misfit prophet
On a traffic island stopped
       F#m
And he raved of saving me

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
A
 Have I been blind?
            E
Have I been lost?
Inside myself and my own mind?
D
Hypnotized, mesmerized
               F#m
By what my eyes   have seen
A
 Have I been wrong?
            E
Have I been wise?
To shut my eyes and play along?
D
Hypnotized, paralyzed
               F#m
By what my eyes   have found
 D                   E
By what my eyes have seen
               F#m
What they have seen

[Solo]

E | D | F#m | F#m 
E | D | F#m 

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
A
 Have I been blind?
            E
Have I been lost?
            D
Have I been wrong?
Have I been wise?
           F#m
Have I been   strong?
            A
Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized
               E
By what my eyes have found?
   F#m        D
In that great street carnival
E A            E
   Have I been blind?
            D
Have I been lost?
            A
Have I been wrong?
            E
Have I been wise?
           D
Have I been strong?
            A
Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized
E               D
 By what my eyes have found?
   F#m        D
In that great street carnival
E             F#m
 In that carnival
