[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 [G#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 G#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.
