Biography:
Beirut is an American indie-rock and world music band which was originally the solo musical project of Zach Condon (born Zachary Francis Condon in Santa Fe, New Mexico) and later expanded into a band. The band's first performances were in New York, in May 2006, to support the release of their debut album, Gulag Orkestar.
Condon recorded before Beirut was established: when he was fifteen and under the name of Realpeople, he made an electronic record, fashioned after his love for The Magnetic Fields.

Gmaj7 A x4
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 A
Carousels twirl all around excited youth
Gmaj7 A
I do not mind at all
Gmaj7 A
We're tonight in a world full of thrills, it can carry me up
Gmaj7 A
Far above it all
[Chorus]

Oh, watch the faces
Gmaj7 A
Go round to the stars, then the ground

Ferris wheels carried us away not so long ago
Gmaj7 A
Times I've betrayed
Gmaj7 A
Where would we be now if I had taken your hand?
Gmaj7 A
The years they pass by slow
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 A
Uuu-uuh, it's a long way
Gmaj7 A
Down from here to the sound
Gmaj7 A
Oh, watch the faces
Gmaj7 A
Go round to the stars, then the ground
