  {ci:has F#7 listed as 464544 = G#7}

  

  [Amaj7] Little man with his [B/A] eyes on fire [Cdim]

  And his smile so [C#m7] bright [B7]

  [Amaj7] In his hands are the [B/A] toys you gave [Cdim]

  That fill his heart with de[C#m7]light [B7]

  [Amaj7] In a ring stands a [B/A] circus clown [Cdim]

  Holding up a [C#m7] light [B7]

  [Amaj7] What you see and [B/A] what you hear [Cdim]

  Will last you the rest of your [C#m7] life [B7]

  

  [Amaj7[2]] It's sad, so sad [B7]

  [Cdim] There aint no easy way [C#m7] round [B7]

  [Amaj7[2]] It's sad, so sad [F#7]

  [Bmin7] All your friends gather [Amaj7] round

  'Cause the [Dmaj7] circus left town [Amaj7]

  

  Little man with his heart so pure

  And his love so fine

  Stick with me and I'll ride with you

  Till the end of the line

  Hold my hand and I'll walk with you

  Through the darkest night

  When I smile I'll be thinking of you

  And everything will be alright

  The picking technique is 4 bar repeating cycle which for the most part

  concentrates on the middle 4 strings, except when playing F#7. Each

  vertical line represents one bar, each bar has 2 beats which are clearly

  marked by the thumb and middle finger. The index finger only appears on

  half beats.

  

  Key:    t = thumb

          i = index finger

          m = middle finger
