[Verse 1]
C         C                    Em
 Well the drunken clown's still  hanging around
        F          Em            Dm
But it's plain the laughter's all  died down
    G                  F                   C
The tears you tried so hard to hide are flowing
C         C                Em
 And a blind man with his knife in hand
       F         Em             Dm
Has convinced himself that he understands
  G                     G7
I wish him well, Miss Carousel
    F              C  C
But I got to be agoin'

[Chorus]
Am                   Em
  Won't you come and get me when
           Am               Em
You're sure  that you don't need me then?
     Am                 Em
I'll stand outside your window
    F                   Em
And proudly call your name

[Verse 2]
Em G G7
       Well,
    C                     Em
the lady's been told that all the gold
   F        Em           Dm
Is worth so much it can't  be sold
G
No time to weep,
       F                  C
she'll need her sleep tomorrow
C           C                     Em
 When she carries her face to the market place
    F         Em     Dm
And bets it on  the opening race
        G                      G7
She can ring her bells, Miss Carousel
        F                 C     C
But her singing brings me sorrow

[Chorus]
Am               Em
  Won't you come and get me when
           Am          Em
You're sure  you don't need me then?
     Am                 Em
I'll stand outside your window
         F                     Em
And I'll proudly call your name

[Verse 3]
Em G G7             C
       Well, it's always done,
      Em
every mother's son
   F               Em    Dm
Is shown that grown  men never run
G                  F                   C
So they fight with all the might inside them
C         C                                Em
 When the battle's been fought and they've all been taught
         F            Em    Dm
That the trick is just  not being caught
         G                     G7
Will you give 'em hell, Miss Carousel
          F                   C       C
When they're begging you to hide them?

[Chorus]
Am                   Em
  Won't you come and get me when
           Am               Em
You're sure  that you don't need me then?
     Am            Em
I'll stand outside your window
    F                   Em
And proudly call your name

[Verse 4]
Em G G7         C
       When the need arose,
     Em
your eyes fell closed
    F               Em    Dm
You clamped your fingers around your nose
G                    F          C
Would you say that's any way to judge him?
C          C                 Em
 Well, you haven't got the authority
   F        Em          Dm
To kill him in the first  degree
              G
But would you feel compelled,
       G7
Miss Carousel
          F                     C    C
If you had something to begrudge him?

[Verse 5]
G7        C               Em
  On a velvet beach far beneath the reach
   F              Em   Dm
Of those that come  to pry and preach
    G                   F                C
The natural man that tried to stand is fallin'
C
 Well,
        C             Em
how long will it be before he sees
    F
You own his legs,
Em            Dm
  but his mind  is free?
     G                    G7
Only you can tell, Miss Carousel
        F               C    C
How long will he be crawling?

[Chorus]
Am                   Em
  Won't you come and get me when
           Am               Em
You're sure  that you don't need me then?
     Am            Em
I'll stand outside your window
    F                     Em
And proudly call your name

[Verse 6]

G7       C                  Em
  Ah the castle wall has grown so tall
F                Em   Dm             G
Seems there ain't  no hope at all to reach the top
     F                       C
Even though you stop for breathing
C      C                  Em
 But I ain't gonna try to make you cry
    F         Em             Dm
The tear drops  couldn't find  your eyes
     G                      G7
It's all been swell, Miss Carousel
        F                    C   C
But the time has come for leaving

[Chorus]
Am                   Em
  Won't you come and get me when
           Am               Em
You're sure  that you don't need me then?
     Am            Em
I'll stand outside your window
    F                     Em
And proudly call your name
Em G G7 Am                   Em
          Won't you come and get me when
           Am               Em
You're sure  that you don't need me then?
      Am           Em
I'll stand outside your window
    F                     Em Em G
And proudly call your name
G7 Am                   Em
     Won't you come and get me when
           Am               Em
You're sure  that you don't need me then?
     Am                 Em
I'll stand outside your window
    F                     Em
And proudly call your name
Em G G7 Am                   Em
          Won't you come and get me when
           Am               Em
You're sure  that you don't need me then?

[Fade Out]
     Am            Em
I'll stand outside your window
    F                     Em
And proudly call your name
Em G G7 Am                   Em
          Won't you come and get me when
You're sure
