The Carnival Is Over chords by Nick Cave

Key: 'D'

  D                A7
Say goodbye, my own true lover
D
And we'll steal a lover's song.
D7     G      A7          D     Bm
How it breaks my heart to leave you
        G           A
Now the carnival is gone.




      D                 A7
Oh my love, the dawn is breaking
                         D
And my tears are falling rain
D7      G   A7      D  Bm
For the carnival is over
       G     A7    D
We may never meet again.

D7     G    A7           D     Bm
Like a drum my heart was beating
G    A7           F#m    D7
And your kiss was sweet as wine.
        G    A7          F#m     Bm
But the joys of love are fleeting
    G                C    A7
For Pierrot and Columbine.

        D                A7
Now the cloak of night is falling
                          D
This will be our last goodbye.
           G  A7       D     Bm
Though the carnival is over
G A7            D
I will love you till I die.

           G  A7       D     Bm
Though the carnival is over
G  A            D     A D A D A D A D A D
I will love you till I die.
