Carnival by Natalie Merchant from "Tigerlily"
^F#m Well I've walked these, streets a virtual stage it seeme ^E d to me
^D make-up on their face actors took their place next to me. ^F#m
F#m Well I've walked these streets in a Carnival of s ^E ites to see
^D All the cheap thrill seekers the vendors and the dealers
they crowded around me ^F#m
A Have been blind , have I been lost
^E Inside myself and my own mind
^D Hypnotize Mesmerize
by what my eyes have seen ^F#m
F#m I've walked these streets in a spectacle of wealth and p ^E overty
^D In the diamond market the scarlet welcome carpet
they've laid, just rolled out for me ^F#m
F#m and I 've walked these streets in the madhouse asylum t ^E hey can be
^D where a wild and misfit profit, a traffic island star
and he raves of saving me ^F#m
A Have I been wrong have I been wise
^E to shut my eyes and play along
^D Hypnotized, Paralyzed
by what my eyes have found ^F#m
By what my eyes have seen, What they have seen
(SOLO)

^A
A Have been blind , have I been lost
^E Have I been wrong have I been wise
^A Have I been strong, Have I been...
^D Hypnotized, Mesmerized
By what my eyes hav ^F#m e found
^F#m In that great street carnival
In that Carnival
