[Verse 1]
          C                                                  G
I'm going down to ride the merry-go-round in the middle of a bad storm
                D/F#                      G
I feel a little forlorn, your man blows a mean horn
           C                                             G
I think my baby's stuck on a rollercoaster looking for a sad song
                      D/F#                                 G
I'm trying to get her back on the track of the Carousel of Love

[Verse 2]
           C                                     G
If I could only go back in time to at least last Tuesday
                      D/F#                        G
Then it wouldn't be a blues day, it may be April Fool's day
              C                                               G
I'd buy her flowers and tell her that tomorrow might a better news day
             D/F#                             G
And take her hand and ride on the Carousel of Love

       C                                                        G
If our love is going last then you know it going to have go the long way
                          D/F#                         G
There's a hundred million wrong ways, trying to find a strong way
           C                                              G
But if you take my hand I will always be a man and go the right way
         D/F#                                  G
Down the highway that leads to the Carousel of Love
         D/F#                                  G
Down the highway that leads to the Carousel of Love
