G Cadd9 G
G Cadd9 D
G Cadd9 Em D
G
Ilsa was an acrobat
C
Who went and fell in love with that
Em D G
Horatio, the human cannonball
G
A wedding beneath the big top tent
C
With barkers, clowns, and elephants,
Em D G
Sideshow, family oddities and all
C
The dogface boy
Em D
Howled out with joy
C D
As the tattooed lady was cryin’
G
Ever since the beginning
Cadd9
To keep the world spinning
G D G
It takes all kinds of kinds
G
Thomas was a congressman
Cadd9
Whose closet’s full of skeletons
E D G
And dresses that he wore on Friday nights
G
Phyllis was a pharmacist
Cadd9
A dab of that a pinch of this
Em D G
Concocted to suppress her appetite
G
When the children were fiddlin’
Cadd9
She’d slip them some Ridlin
Em D
And wait for Thomasina to arrive
G
'Cause ever since the beginning
Cadd9
To keep the world spinning
G D G
It takes all kinds of kinds
G D/f G
All kinds of kinds
G Cadd9 Em D x2
G
When I play this old guitar
Cadd9
At children’s shows to smoky bars
Em D G
I take a break and think about the past
G
When I stood up in geometry
Cadd9
And everybody stared at me
Em D G
And I tossed my test into the trash
G
I scratched off my number
Cadd9
While hitching out under
Em D
That Bushly population sign
G
Ever since the beginning
Cadd9
To keep the world spinning
G D G
It takes all kinds of kinds
G
But some point the finger
Cadd9
Let ignorance linger
Em D/f
And if they’d look in a mirror they’d find
D/f D/f D/f
G
That ever since the beginning
Cadd9
To keep the world spinning
G
It takes all kinds of kinds
G D G
All kinds of kinds
G D/f G
All kinds of kinds
G Cadd9 Em D
Yeah yeah
G Cadd9 Em D
Oh yeah

Nicely done in the higher C octave. I think that the lyric is "bush league" population sign, not Bushly, in the third verse. Last, can you give a tab for the D/f chord? Thanks. -mmguitarman | 10/30/2013 | The bridge (some point the finger) chord progression should be: C Em D Em G D
