Beautiful Door


INTRO: G  G/F  Em  C  D

  G                              D
I saw her in between fast movin' scrambler cars
                                 G
She had a stare like a 20 dollar w***e
                                    C
Now I have done my time but I would say thus far
     A                              D
I've never seen a stare like that before


I ambled over close enough to ask her name
She said not that it's your business, but it's Dora
Her bottom lip and both ears were linked by chains
She even had a tattoo on her aura


PRE-CHORUS:
  C                 D             G
I told her that I'd like to know about her world
        C                        D
And she said I ain't no carnival girl


CHORUS:
         C              D
She said just because I work the fair
        G       G/F          Em
And the wind of freedom blows thru my hair
      C                   D
Don't mean I swing like a tilt-a-whirl
  G       G/F      Em
I may not be strung out in pearls
    C          D        G    G/F  Em
But I ain't no carnival girl
c          D        G
I ain't no carnival girl


She said that she would meet me in the parking lot
But right now she had to tug on that old handle
I bought a cotton candy and picked out a spot
And watched until the scrambler was dismantled

We talked until the sun came up and dried the dew
But talk was all we did since she insisted
She told me that there had only been a few
Exceptions to the rule since she enlisted

PRE-CHORUS:
She said she'd gladly tell me all about her world
But she ain't no carnival girl


CHORUS

G/F  Em      C          D        G    G/F  Em  C  D  G  D  G
          But I ain't no carnival girl
