In fact I was the one who posted the original version of The Circus Left Town. I only discovered my mistake when it was noted in the transcription below that I had mixed up the G#7 and the F#7 chords. I have corrected the mistake in the attached text. Apologies for the error. Enjoy the song. :Somebody posted this on one of the guitar newsgroups, I think. I've :reformatted it a little bit and deleted the header (so much for giving :credit where credit is due :( ), but this is the important stuff. : : :-------------------- : : : THE CIRCUS LEFT TOWN by Eric Clapton : : :(Amaj7 = x06650, Amaj7 [2] = x02120, C#m7 = x46454, Cdim = x3424x :has G#7 = 464544) : :[Amaj7] Little man with his [B/A] eyes on fire [Cdim] :And his smile so [C#m7] bright [B7] :[Amaj7] In his hands are the [B/A] toys you gave [Cdim] :That fill his heart with de[C#m7]light [B7] :[Amaj7] In a ring stands a [B/A] circus clown [Cdim] :Holding up a [C#m7] light [B7] :[Amaj7] What you see and [B/A] what you hear [Cdim] :Will last you the rest of your [C#m7] life [B7] : :[Amaj7[2]] It's sad, so sad [B7] :[Cdim] There aint no easy way [C#m7] round [B7] :[Amaj7[2]] It's sad, so sad [G#7] :[Bmin7] All your friends gather [Amaj7] round :'Cause the [Dmaj7] circus left town [Amaj7] : :Little man with his heart so pure :And his love so fine :Stick with me and I'll ride with you :Till the end of the line :Hold my hand and I'll walk with you :Through the darkest night :When I smile I'll be thinking of you :And everything will be alright : : : :The picking technique is 4 bar repeating cycle which for the most part :concentrates on the middle 4 strings, except when playing G#7.
