[Verse 1]
A                C#m    F#m
Listen to what I try to tell you
               G                 A
You know, it's hard to say, it's hard
                 C#m      F#m
I'm going now to other places
         G                  A
Yes it's time that we will part

[Bridge]
      Bm          G             A
Oh, believe me, I can't stay longer
       Bm          G            A
Oh I'm sorry for I see you feel pain
          D     E        A
Maybe for you today it's raining
         D                 E  N.C.
But your love won't be in vain

[Verse 2]
    A               C#m    F#m
The horses, they're so impatient
         G                                 A
And the clowns' wives are chattering in between
               C#m               F#m
The variegated wagons, the sword swallower
         G                     A
Are all born in the same magic scene

[Bridge]
      Bm          G             A
Oh, believe me, I can't stay longer
       Bm          G            A
Oh I'm sorry for I see you feel pain
          D     E        A
Maybe for you today it's raining
         D                 E
But your love won't be in vain

[Chorus]
A      Bm         D       A
Circus will be in town in time
A      Bm         D       A
Circus will be in town in time
A      Bm         D       A
Circus will be in town in time
       Bm               D       A
Circus is waiting for departure time

[Bridge]
 G                  Bm                      A
Oh, baby, you know, I've got something to explain
                           G
The many countries I have seen
    Bm                                A
For five days, a fortnight, sometimes longer
                                   G
And it seems, oh it seems, oh it seems
     Bm            A
It's all a cosy company
                                   G
And I do it only, only, only, only through
         Bm                    E
Oh, it's working hard for your money

[Chorus]
A      Bm         D       A
Circus will be in town in time
A      Bm         D       A
Circus will be in town in time
A      Bm         D       A
Circus will be in town in time
          Bm            D       A
Circus is waiting for departure time
A      Bm         D       A
Circus will be in town in time
A      Bm         D       A
Circus will be in town in time
A      Bm         D       A
Circus will be in town in time
A      Bm         D       A
Circus will be in town in time
