                         Carnival    by       Natalie Merchant     from "Tigerlily" 
 F#m                                                      E 
 Well I've  walked these, streets a virtual stage it seemed to me 
 D                                                                                F#m 
 make-up on their face actors took their place next to me. 
 F#m                                              E 
 Well I've walked these streets in a Carnival of sites to see 
 D 
 All the cheap thrill seekers the vendors and the dealers 
                                    F#m 
 they crowded around me 
  
 A 
 Have been blind , have I been lost 
 E 
 Inside myself and my own mind 
 D 
 Hypnotize Mesmerize 
                                        F#m 
 by what my eyes have seen 
  
 F#m                                                     E 
 I've walked these streets in a spectacle of wealth and poverty 
 D 
 In the diamond market the scarlet welcome carpet 
                                                F#m 
 they've laid, just rolled out for me 
  
 F#m                                                    E 
 and I 've walked these streets in the madhouse asylum they can be 
 D 
 where a wild and misfit profit, a traffic island star 
                                   F#m 
 and he raves of saving me 
  
 A 
 Have I been wrong have I been wise 
 E 
 to shut my eyes and play along 
 D 
 Hypnotized, Paralyzed 
                                         F#m 
 by what my eyes have found 
  
 By what my eyes have seen,  What they have seen
