Roy Orbison - The comedians

I ^Asat there al^Eone upon the ^Aferris wheel a ^Apastel colored carriage in the ^Dair I ^Bmthought you'd leave me ^F#7dangling for a ^Bmlittle while a ^Bmsilly twist up^Bm7on a childish ^Edare

Be^Alow I saw you ^Ewhispering to an^Aother man who ^Aheld the lever that could bring me ^Ddown he'd ^Bmstop the world from ^F#7turning at ^Bmyour command it's ^Bmalways something ^Bm7cruel that laughter ^Edrowns

and ^EI'm up while the ^Adawn is breaking ^A7even though my ^Dheart is aching I should be drinking a ^D#dim7toast to absent ^Efriends instead of ^Fdim7these comedi^Aans^E F#m C#7 D A G D/F# E A

I can ^Ahardly hear the ^Emusic from the ^Acarousel the ^Awind picks up, the carriage starts ^Dsway as ^F#mone by one the ^C#lights go out it's ^F#mclosing time I ^Esee you take his hand and walk away, walk a^Away E F#m C#7 D A G D/F# E A

They ^Asay that you will ^Ealways be the ^Alast to know they ^Asay that all that glitters is not ^Dgold it's ^F#mnot just that you're ^C#never coming ^F#mback to me ^Eit's the bitter way that I was told

and ^AI'm up while the ^Ddawn is breaking ^D7even though my ^Gheart is aching I should be drinking a ^G#dim7toast to absent ^Afriends instead of ^A7these comedi^Dans
