Circle of Steel - Gordon Lightfoot
D C
Rows of lights in a circle of steel
D G
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
D C G
High windows flickerin’ down through the snow
D
A time you know
G A
Sights and sounds of the people goin’ round
Cmaj7 D
Everybody’s in step with the season
D C
A child is born to a welfare case
D G
Where the rats run around like they own the place
D C G
The room is chilly, the building is old
D
That’s how it goes
G A
The doctor’s found on his welfare rounds
Cmaj7 D
And he comes and he leaves on the double
D C
“Deck the Halls” was the song they played
D G
In the flat next door where they shout all day
D C G
She tips her gin bottle back ‘til it’s gone
D
The child is strong
G A
A week, a day, they will take it away
Cmaj7 D
For they know about all her bad habits
F#m – Bm – Em – A – Cmaj7 - D
D C
Christmas dawns and the snow lets up
D G
And the sun hits the handle of her heirloom cup
D C G
She hides her face in her hands for a while
D
Says “Look here, child,
G A
Your fathers pride was his means to provide
Cmaj7 D
And he’s servin’ three years for that reason.”
D C
Rows of lights in a circle of steel
D G
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
D C G
High windows flickerin’ down through the snow
D
A time you know
G A
Sights and sounds of the people goin’ round
Cmaj7 D
Everybody’s in step with the season
