Living in the circle
(Dead Ringer Band)
Intro: A D A A E A
A D A
Raggy Doll in my scarecrow jeans,
E A
Cold and thin as the cracks in the sidewalk.
A D
Pretty smile as big as you please,
A E A
And a heart that's made to match.
A D A
Left home with a lucky charm,
E A
A dollar coin and a prayer from her Grandma.
A D
Pray the lord that you'll work hard,
A E A
and the coin will find its way back.
CHORUS:
A E
Hey, living in the circle,
A D A E
One more time like you did it before.
A E
Hey, living in the circle,
A D E A
Round and round on the fall of a dollar.
A D A
Gravel roads and a patch work tent,
E A
Every step a trial for the innocent.
A D
Lord knows it was hard not to bend,
A E A
But she was true to her grandma.
A D A
She said 'It's a road where the brambles grow,
E A
toss a coin for the mountain and snow.
A D
The devil's curse is the path you don't know,
A E A
You better trust in the Lord.'
-> Chorus
B E B
Gave her heart to a circus Joe,
Fm B
Her babies raised on beans and a tight rope.
E B
Never needed to beg nor borrow no,
Fm B
She had her faith in the Lord.
Bridge:
E
She said 'Yesterday's another place,
D
Tomorrows far away,
E
Today is a turn of the coin,
D E
Heads you win, tails you win again.'
A D A
Read the words on her Grandmas grave,
E A
In God we trust, Hands of faith.
A D
The lesson learnt and the coin returns
A E A
The circle stays unbroken.
-> CHORUS
Hey!
