Carnival Song

Tim Buckley

Biography:

Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an experimental vocalist and performer who incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, and avant-garde rock, in a short career spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s, ending with his death at age 28 from an alcohol-heroin overdose.

Buckley often regarded his tenor voice as an instrument, a talent most noticeable on his albums Happy Sad, Lorca, and Starsailor. His first marriage was to Mary Guibert, with whom he had a child, musician Jeff Buckley.

Song: Carnival Song
Artist: Tim Buckley
Source: From Goodbye And Hello, 1967

Intro:
{Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /}

Ab Gb/Ab
The singer cries for people's lies
Ab Gb/Ab Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /
He will sing for the day to bring him night
Ab Gb/Ab
The circus burns in carnival flame
Ab Gb/Ab Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /
And for awhile you won't know my name at all
Db B Gb E Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /
But sing and dance and love for pennies and gold

The juggling clown smiles to me
And every frown we agree is glad
The nighttime comes to bring the bums
From Bowery heat to crimson streets of wine
But magic lands will nbever touch our sands

Your children smile in single file
They learn mistakes that others make
They see although they cannot know
The needs they'll need to have their greed grow wild
But dance and sing for others bring the shame
Db B Gb E Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /
And for awhile you won't know my name

{Ab / / / / / Gb/Ab / / / / /} (to fade)

****

No guitar on this song that I could hear, but this arrangement
is sufficient for guitar. It's in 3/4 time, and it sounds all right
if pluck the bass string on the first beat and strum the chord on beats
2 and 3. Enjoy (hopefully)...
