Live on Tiny Desk Concerts (from NPR’s All Songs Considered)

Em  Am
Em  B7
Em

Verse:
  Em
The dark and distant drumming
  Am
The pounding of the hooves
  Em     B7       Em
The silence of everything that moves
Em
Late at night you’ll see them
    Am
Decked out in shiny jewels
  Em      B7     Em
The coming of the caravan of fools

Verse:
     Em
Like the wings of a dove
Am
  The waiter's white glove
     Em       B7      Em
Seems to shimmer by the light of the pool
   Em
Some dog-blinding winter
     Am
When you can't stand to lose
    Em        B7     Em
You're running with the caravan of fools

Chorus:
  Em
The caravan of fools
  Am
The caravan of fools
    Em        B7     Em
You’re running with the caravan of fools

Instrumental:
Em  Am
Em  B7
Em

Verse:
Em
Love and devotion
Am
Deep as any ocean
   Em   B7    Em
Don't play by anybody's rules
     Em
With your carousel of horses
     Am
And your unforeseen forces
    Em        B7     Em
You're running with the caravan of fools

Chorus:
  Em
The caravan of fools
  Am
The caravan of fools
    Em        B7     Em
You’re running with the caravan of fools

Instrumental:
Em  Am
Em  B7
