Intro: D D/C D/B D/A E7 A7 D
[D] [D/C] [D/B] [D/A] [E7] [A7] [D]
Chorus:
[D]Ringling, Ringling [E7]slippin' away
[G]Only forty people livin'[D] there today
[D]Streets are dusty, and the [E7]bank has been torn down
[G]It's a [A7]dyin' little [D]town
[D]Church window's broken, that place [E7]ain't been used in years
[G]Jail don't have a [A7]sheriff or a [D]cell
And electric trains, they run by maybe [E7]once or twice a month
[G]Easin' it on [A7]down to Mussel[D] Shell
(Repeat chorus)
Bridge:
And a[A]cross from the bar there's a pile of beer cans
[D]Been there twenty seven years
I[E7]magine all the heartaches and tears in [A7]27 years of beer
So we hopped back in the rent-a-car and we hit the cruise control
Pretty soon the town was out of sight
But we left behind a fat barmaid, a cowboy and a dog
Bracin' for a Ringling Friday night
Chorus:
Ringling, Ringling you're just slippin' away
I wonder how many people will be there a year from today
Cause the streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down
It's a dyin' little town
G A7 D (intro chords)
Yeah, it's a dyin' little town
Enjoy!
