D C A G

G
You should have been there  when  the
B7                              C
Time was right for the music to begin
Am                                 D                               G
You shoulda been there   when that band of gypsies started rolling in
                           B7                                  C
You should seen it  you'da swore for sure the circus came to town
            Am                           D
There were ladies ridin bareback and the mystery man
                   G
All painted like a clown
                        B7                        C
You should seen October feelin like I never felt before
Am                             D                                    
Flashin up  New England skies  like the fires of the revoluntionary 
G
war
G                                B7                                   
You should heard the music comin down like the hardest rain that ever 
C
fell
Am
Waking up in the afternoons
       D                                  G
With a hundred lovers feedin in the same motel
        D            C             G
Take me away take me away  take me away
        D            C            G
Take me away take me away take me away
        D            C            G
Take me away take me away take me away
        D            C            G
Take me away take me away take me away
B7                                                Em
To the place where the greatest show on earth is playing
Am                D
High on your highway
G                             B7                         C
You shoulda seen me I've been told I had a smile upon my face
Am                            D                G
Slippin from state to state  ending up in a drunken state of grace
                           B7                               C
It wasn't very long ago  I used to say this kind of life is rough
 Am                        D                                 G
You shoulda been there but I can tell you even that was not enough
        D            C            G
Take me away take me away take me away
        D            C            G
Take me away take me away take me away
        D            C             G
Take me away take me away  take me away
        D            C            G
Take me away take me away take me away
