[Intro] (x2)
E B C#m B G# A
[Verse 1]
E B C#m
It was the first day of summer and the word came down
B G# A
And then the crowd started gathering on the edge of the town
E B C#m
To hear the band start kicking on the count of four
B G# A
And then the stranger with a promise of a miracle cure
E B C#m
He stood slender like a switch, cane, jet-black hair
B G# A
And stared deep into the frailty of everyone there
E B C#m
Until a smile came wide across his face and so
B G# A
Began the smoke and the mirrors of the medicine show.
[Instrumental] (x2)
E B C#m B G# A
[Verse 2]
E B C#m
He pulled a bottle from his pocket, said "I bring you good news
B G# A
"I got an end to all your worries and your hurt and them blues
E B C#m
So if your hair started thinning and your joints get bad
B G# A
Yeah it'll take away the pain you never knew that you had.
E B C#m
Yeah it'll make you good-looking it'll make you feel thin
B G# A
And cures every one of the seven of the deadliest sins"
E B C#m
And then the money started flying and the crowd below
B G# A
It was the smoke and the mirrors of the medicine show
[Chorus]
E B C#m
It was the smoke and the mirrors of the medicine show
B G# A
It was the smoke and the mirrors of the medicine show
[Verse 3]
E B C#m
Well it takes a little businessman it ain't no crime
B G# A
To fool enough of the people for enough of their time
E B C#m
And it's your own damn problem if you're paying out for
B G# A
A little back-ditch water and little else more
E B C#m
And when the money's being counted and the stage comes down
B G# A
We're out looking for the suckers of another dumb town
E B C#m
And sing a prayer for every innocent who can't say no
B G# A
To the smoke and the mirrors of the medicine show
[Chorus]
E B C#m
It was the smoke and the mirrors of the medicine show
B G# A
I said "hey, good-looking, now come on, let's go"
E B C#m
It was the smoke and the mirrors of the medicine show
