Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
An incredible song I discovered a year or so before it was recorded when I met Terra in person.

All of the "G" chords after F chords are done with a bar chord on the 3rd fret.
The other G's are normal.
The finger-picking pattern is A D B D G, with a slight pause between A string and D string.

[Intro]
C Cadd9 h C C
[Verse]
C G C
In a dusty old tent, 7 miles out of town
C G C
I set up my cards, and the wind knocks them down
Am C F
And I try for the people who want to believe...
C G C
In miracles, and magic, and life's mysteries
C G C
Now I was born early, I always feel late
C G C
I can never catch up to the promises I make
C G C
And my mama she cried when I ran away
C G C
And when her tears dried it was just another day.
[Chorus]
F G
And I made my living pulling rabbits out of hats
C Am
Girls on white ponies and balancing acts
F
Now I have grown tired
G Am
No more tricks up my sleeve
C
And for my last number
G C
I think I’ll just leave
[Verse]
C C C
I once had a girl and I loved her a lot
C G C
She knew my mistakes and she sweetly forgot
Am C F
Well I tried hard to keep her, I wanted her here
C G C
But all good magicians make things disappear
[Chorus]
F G
And I made my living pulling rabbits out of hats
C Am
Girls on white ponies and balancing acts
F
Now I have grown tired
G Am
No more tricks up my sleeve
C
And for my last number
G C
I think I’ll just leave
[Refrain]
F G C Am
And I put that smile on the face of young girls and boys wandered into this place
F G
The red velvet curtain hides all of my fears
Am D F G
And when the show is over they all reappear
[Verse]
C G C
Please, show me something, I want to believe
C G C
This life of illusion, it's myself I have deceived
Am C F
And a younger man's daydreams are quickly forgot
C G C
The tents all come down on a cold empty lot
[Final Chorus]
(Different)
F G
And I made my living pulling rabbits out of hats
C Am
Girls on white ponies and balancing acts
F
Now Time's made me tired,
G Am
Took the tricks from my sleeve
C
And for my last number
G C
I think I’ll just leave
