Circle Of Steel chords
Gordon Lightfoot

Capo III

D C D G
D G A Cmaj7 D

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 round,
    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 till 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

D G 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 father's 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

D G A Cmaj7 D D
