Carney Man
Cross Canadian Ragweed
Carney

C
I want a big red nose  I want some floppy shoes
         			   F
I want a squirty flower   squirt it on you
	      C
Like all the bad clowns do
G			       F	      C
I want to juggle bowling pins in the sun
G			F						C
I want to join the circus,   the circus looks like fun
C
I'll sit and work the gate  or I can guess your weight
			            F
I'll even sell the corn dogs  I don't care
	    C
As long as I am there
G		             F       C
I'll hand out baseballs at the dunk tank
G			     F			             C
I'll ride my funny car laughing... all the way to the bank

C
Cause I'm a carney man  I'm a carney man
C
I'm a carney man   I'm a carney man carney man carney man

C
The human cannonball  I'll rise above it all
			          F			              C
Up higher than the trapeze I can fly  Oh god I'm gonna die
G		          F		    C
I am a carney worker I make two bucks
G		           F				         C
Every hour come to find out ... this job it really sucks

C
Cause I'm a carney man  I'm a carney man
C
I'm a carney man   I'm a carney man 
C
You need a corndog I can tell  You need a corn dog I can tell
C
I'm a carney man


Notes:  If you ever get the chance to see these guys, take advantage.  
They really keep the joint rockin' and have a good time.
They also dress up the live version of Carney Man and make it more
"colorful".

You play the C chord with a hammer-on the B string, 3rd fret.  If you ever
hear the song 
you'll pick right up on the strum pattern.
