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
