The Carnival Is Over


(A)Say good(D)bye, my own true (A7)lover,
As we sing a lover's (D)song.
How it (G)breaks(A7) my heart to (D)leave you; (Bmin)
Now the (G)carnival is (A)gone.

High above, the dawn is waking,
And my tears are falling rain,
For the carnival is over;
We may never meet again.

Like a (G)drum (A7)my heart was (D)beating, (Bmin)
And your (G)kiss (A7)was sweet as (F#min)wine.(D7)
But the (G)joys (A7)of love are (F#min)fleeting (Bmin)
For (G)Pierrot (C)and Colum(A7)bine.

Now the harbour light is calling;
This will be our last goodbye.
Though the carnival is over,
I will love you till I die.

Like a drum my heart was beating,
And your kiss was sweet as wine.
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine.

Now the harbour light is calling;
This will be our last goodbye.
Though the carnival is over,
I will love you till I die.

Though the (G)car(A7)nival is (D)over, (Bmin)
I will (G)love(A) you till I (D)die.
