Gordon Lightfoot - Circle of steel

^DRows of lights in a ^Ccircle of steel, Where you ^Dplace your bets on a ^Ggreat big wheel ^DHigh windows ^Cflickerin' down through the ^Gsnow, A ^Dtime you know Sights and sounds of the ^Gpeople goin' '^Around, Every^Cmaj7body's in step with the ^Dseason

A ^Dchild is born to a ^Cwelfare case, Where the ^Drats run around like they ^Gown the place ^DThe room is ^Cchilly, the building is ^Gold, ^DThat's how it goes The doctor's found on his ^Gwelfare ^Around, And he ^Cmaj7comes and he leaves on the ^Ddouble

^DDeck The Halls was the ^Csong they played, In the ^Dflat next door where they ^Gshout all day ^DShe tips her ^Cgin bottle back till it's ^Ggone, The ^Dchild is strong A week, a day, they will ^Gtake it a^Away, For they ^Cmaj7know about all her bad ^Dhabits

^DChristmas dawns and the ^Csnow lets up, And the ^Dsun hits the handle of her ^Gheirloom cup ^DShe hides her ^Cface in her hands for a ^Gwhile, Says ^Dlook here child Your father's pride was his ^Gmeans to prov^Aide, And he's ^Cmaj7servin' three years for that ^Dreason

^DRows of lights in a ^Ccircle of steel, Where you ^Dplace your bets on a ^Ggreat big wheel ^DHigh windows ^Cflickerin' down through the ^Gsnow, A ^Dtime you know Sights and sounds of the ^Gpeople goin' '^Around Every^Cmaj7body's in step with the ^Dseason
