ircle Game -Joni Mitchell Intro: G/Am7/G/D7 Y[G]esterday a [C] child came out to w[G]onder, Caught a dragonf[C]ly inside a j[D7]ar. Fe[G]arful when the s[C]ky is full of th[Bm]under, And te[C]earful at the fa[G]lling [Am7] of a st[G]ar. Chorus: [G] And the seasons, they go [Am7]round and r[G]ound, And the painted poinies go [Am7]up and d[G]own. [C] Were captive on the carousel of t[G]ime. [C] We cant return, we can only look be[Bm]hind From where we c[C]ame, And go r[G]ound and round and r[Am7]ound in the circle g[G]ame. [C] [G] Then the child moved t[C]en times round the s[G]easons, Skated over t[C]en clear frozen str[D7]eams. [G]Words like, when youre ol[C]der, Must a[Bm]ppease him, And pr[C]omises of s[G]omeday m[Am7]ke his dr[G]eams. Sixteen springs and s[C]ixteen summers g[G]one now, Cartwheels turn to c[C]ar wheels through the t[D7]own. And they t[G]ell him take your t[C]ime, It wont be l[Bm]ong now, Til you d[C]rag your feet to s[Am7]low the circle d[G]own. [G] So the years spin by and n[C]ow the boy is t[G]wenty, Though his dreams have lost some g[C]randeur coming t[D7]rue. Therell be n[G]ew dreams, maybe b[C]etter dreams, and p[Bm]lenty, Be[C]fore the last rev[G]olving y[Am7]ear is t[G]hrough. end [D7] [G]
