WORLD FREAK SHOW - THE LEVELLERS
--------------------------------
D E D E
D E
In the past the fools would pay
A E A E
To see the freaks of the day
D E
Contradictions of the norm
A E A E
The bizarre, the wonderful and deformed
D
No need for the tents and the cages now
E
The world comes to my eyes
D
In front of my TV circus
E
A freak show in disguise
Bm
Circles and roundabouts
A E
How much did you know
Bm
Going round and coming back
A E
The world freak show
Bm
Swings and revolutions
A E
How much did you know
Bm
Going round and coming back
A E
The world freak show
D E D E
Another tree is coming down
Another harpooned whale is drowned
Another child's belly needs feeding
On land the fast-food chain is bleeding
And we bought our new green wool
And pulled it over our eyes
As the circus on all around
A freak show in disguise
Circles and roundabouts...
D E D E
D E D E
And it's circles and roundabouts...

People claim the power seat

Wall comes down, people stand up

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LEVELLERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
