Amaj7 Little man with his B/A eyes on fire Cdim
And his smile so C#m7 bright B7
Amaj7 In his hands are the B/A toys you gave Cdim
That fill his heart with deC#m7light B7
Amaj7 In A ring stands A B/A circus clown Cdim
Holding up A C#m7 light B7
Amaj7 What you see and B/A what you hear Cdim
Will last you the rest of your C#m7 life B7

Amaj72 It's sad, so sad B7
Cdim There aint no easy way C#m7 round B7
Amaj72 It's sad, so sad G#7
Bmin7 All your friends gather Amaj7 round
'Cause the Dmaj7 circus left town Amaj7

Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine
Stick with me and I'll ride with you
Till the end of the line
Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night
When I smile I'll be thinking of you
And everything will be alright



The picking technique is 4 bar repeating cycle which for the most part
concentrates on the middle 4 strings, except when playing G#7. Each
vertical line represents one bar, each bar has 2 beats which are clearly
marked by the thumb and middle finger. The index finger only appears on
half beats.

Key:    t = thumb
        i = index finger
        m = middle finger
