 G           C                 G
 Yesterday a child came out to wonder, 
               C            D7
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar. 
 G               C              Bm
Fearful when the sky is full of thunder, 
    C              G       Am7  G   C  G C
And tearful at the falling of a star. 
 
Chorus: 
     G                        Am7         G
     And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round, 
                            Am7         G
     And the painted ponies goes up and down. 
     C                 G
     We're captive on the carousel of time. 
     C					Bm
     We can't return, we can only look behind 
                   C
     From where we came, 
             G                     Am7                 G  C G
     And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game. 
 
 G                    C                   G
 Then the child moved ten times round the seasons, 
                C            D7
Skated over ten clear frozen streams. 
 G               C                    Bm
Words like "when you're older" must appease him, 
    C              G       Am7  G     C  G C
And promises of someday make his dreams. 
 
Chorus: 
     G                        Am7         G
     And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round, 
                            Am7         G
     And the painted ponies goes up and down. 
     C                 G
     We're captive on the carousel of time. 
     C					Bm
     We can't return, we can only look behind 
                   C
     From where we came, 
             G                     Am7                 G   C G
     And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game. 
 
 G           C                 G
 Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now, 
               C            D7
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town. 
 G                  C                           Bm
And they tell him, "Take your time, it won't be long now, 
    C              G       Am7  G     C    G C
'Till you drag your feet to slow the circle down." 
 
Chorus: 
     G                        Am7         G
     And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round, 
                            Am7         G
     And the painted ponies goes up and down. 
     C                 G
     We're captive on the carousel of time.
     C					Bm
     We can't return, we can only look behind 
                   C
     From where we came, 
             G                     Am7                 G  C G
     And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game. 
 
 G             C                          G
 So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty, 
                        C                 D7
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true. 
 G                       C                       Bm
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams, and plenty. 
  C               G       Am7  G     C    G C
Before the last revolving year is through. 
 
Chorus: 
     G                        Am7         G
     And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round, 
                            Am7         G
     And the painted ponies goes up and down. 
     C                 G
     We're captive on the carousel of time. 
     C					Bm
     We can't return, we can only look behind 
                   C
     From where we came, 
             G                     Am7                 G  C G
     And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game.
