Intro:
It alternates between D and Dsus2, listen to the song for the rhythm and correct timing.
is the same little riff that happens quite a bit throughout the song, mostly in the verses.
Verse 1:
[D]Y' know my wandering days are over
Does that [A]mean that I'm getting [F#m]boring?
You tell [G]me
I'm tired of listening to myself, yeah
I'm tired of fixing things for Michael and the [D]rest of them
Verse 2:
Y' know my [D]bip-bopping days are over
I hung my [A]boots up and then re[F#m]tired from the disco [G]floor
The centre of my so called being is
The space between your bed and wardrobe with the [D]louvre doors
(With the [A]louvre doors)
Verse 3:
[D]Y' know my celibate days are over
You put me [A]straight on the finer [F#m]points of my speech re[G]hearsed
In the mirror of my steamy bathroom
Where the lino tells a sorry story in a [D]monologue
(In a [A]monologue)
Chorus:
[D]Six months on, the [G]winter's gone
The [D]disenchanted [G]pony
[D]Left the town with the [G]circus boy
The [C]circus boy got [G]lonely
It's [D]summer, and it's [G]sister song's
Been [D]written for the [G]lonely
The [C]circus boy is feeling melan[G]choly
Bridge:
D A F#m G D A (x2)
Verse 4:
It's [D]got to be fate that's doing it
A spooky [A]witch in a sexy [F#m]dress has been bugging [G]me
With the story of the way it should be
With the story of Sebastian and Belle the [D]singer, yeah
Verse 5:
Y' know my [D]one man band is over
I hit the [A]drum for the final [F#m]time and I walked [G]away
I saw you in Japanese restaurant
You were doing it for [Gm]business men on the [D]piano, Belle
You said it was a [A]living Hell
You said you were in[G] Hell
Chorus 2:
[D]Six months on, the [G]winter's gone
The [D]disenchanted [G]pony
[D]Left the town with the [G]circus boy
The [C]circus boy got [G]lonely
It's [D]summer, and it's [G]sister song's
Been [D]written for the [G]lonely
The [C]circus boy is feeling melan[G]choly
Chorus 3:
[D]Six months on, the [G]winter's gone
The [D]disenchanted [G]pony
[D]Left the town with the [G]circus boy
The [D]circus boy got [G]lonely
It's [A]summer, and it's [F]sister song's
Been [A]written for the [F]lonely
The [A]circus boy is [F]feeling melan[G]choly[F]
G F repeated to fade out.
The lyrics are a few words from the last 2 lines of the chorus and a bit of ad-libbing.
