Fare Thee Well Miss Carousel
Townes Van Zandt
Key : E
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
E | G#m | A | G#m | F#m 
B | A   
E

[Verse 1]
---------------------
E         E                    G#m
 Well the drunken clown's still  hanging around
        A          G#m           F#m
But it's plain the laughter's all  died down
    B                  A                   E
The tears you tried so hard to hide are flowing
E         E                G#m
 And a blind man with his knife in hand
       A         G#m            F#m
Has convinced himself that he understands
  B                     B7
I wish him well, Miss Carousel
    A              E  E
But I got to be agoin'

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
C#m                  G#m
  Won't you come and get me when
           C#m              G#m
You're sure  that you don't need me then?
     C#m                G#m
I'll stand outside your window
    A                   G#m
And proudly call your name

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G#m B B7          E                     G#m
       Well, the lady's been told that all the gold
   A        G#m          F#m
Is worth so much it can't  be sold
B                       A                  E
No time to weep, she'll need her sleep tomorrow
E           E                     G#m
 When she carries her face to the market place
    A         G#m    F#m
And bets it on  the opening race
        B                      B7
She can ring her bells, Miss Carousel
        A                 E     E
But her singing brings me sorrow

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C#m              G#m
  Won't you come and get me when
           C#m         G#m
You're sure  you don't need me then?
     C#m                G#m
I'll stand outside your window
         A                     G#m
And I'll proudly call your name

[Verse 3]
---------------------
G#m B B7             E                G#m
       Well, it's always done, every mother's son
   A               G#m   F#m
Is shown that grown  men never run
B                  A                   E
So they fight with all the might inside them
E         E                                G#m
 When the battle's been fought and they've all been taught
         A            G#m   F#m
That the trick is just  not being caught
         B                     B7
Will you give 'em hell, Miss Carousel
          A                   E       E
When they're begging you to hide them?

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
C#m                  G#m
  Won't you come and get me when
           C#m              G#m
You're sure  that you don't need me then?
     C#m           G#m
I'll stand outside your window
    A                   G#m
And proudly call your name

[Verse 4]
---------------------
G#m B B7         E                G#m
       When the need arose, your eyes fell closed
    A               G#m   F#m
You clamped your fingers around your nose
B                    A          E
Would you say that's any way to judge him?
E          E                 G#m
 Well, you haven't got the authority
   A        G#m         F#m
To kill him in the first  degree
              B                      B7
But would you feel compelled, Miss Carousel
          A                     E    E
If you had something to begrudge him?

[Solo]
---------------------
C#m | G#m | C#m | G#m 
C#m | G#m | A   | G#m 
G#m | B   

[Verse 5]
---------------------
B7        E               G#m
  On a velvet beach far beneath the reach
   A              G#m  F#m
Of those that come  to pry and preach
    B                   A                E
The natural man that tried to stand is fallin'
E              E             G#m
 Well, how long will it be before he sees
    A            G#m           F#m
You own his legs,  but his mind  is free?
     B                    B7
Only you can tell, Miss Carousel
        A               E    E
How long will he be crawling?

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
C#m                  G#m
  Won't you come and get me when
           C#m              G#m
You're sure  that you don't need me then?
     C#m           G#m
I'll stand outside your window
    A                     G#m
And proudly call your name

[Verse 6]
---------------------
G#m B B7       E                  G#m
       Ah the castle wall has grown so tall
A                G#m  F#m            B
Seems there ain't  no hope at all to reach the top
     A                       E
Even though you stop for breathing
E      E                  G#m
 But I ain't gonna try to make you cry
    A         G#m            F#m
The tear drops  couldn't find  your eyes
     B                      B7
It's all been swell, Miss Carousel
        A                    E   E
But the time has come for leaving

[Chorus (5)]
---------------------
C#m                  G#m
  Won't you come and get me when
           C#m              G#m
You're sure  that you don't need me then?
     C#m           G#m
I'll stand outside your window
    A                     G#m
And proudly call your name
G#m B B7 C#m                  G#m
          Won't you come and get me when
           C#m              G#m
You're sure  that you don't need me then?
      C#m          G#m
I'll stand outside your window
    A                     G#m G#m B
And proudly call your name
B7 C#m                  G#m
     Won't you come and get me when
           C#m              G#m
You're sure  that you don't need me then?
     C#m                G#m
I'll stand outside your window
    A                     G#m
And proudly call your name
G#m B B7 C#m                  G#m
          Won't you come and get me when
           C#m              G#m
You're sure  that you don't need me then?

[Fade Out]
---------------------
     C#m           G#m
I'll stand outside your window
    A                     G#m
And proudly call your name
G#m B B7 C#m                  G#m
          Won't you come and get me when
You're sure
