(E7) (A7) (D)
(D) Ringling, Ringling (E7) slippin' away
(G) Only forty people livin' (D) there today
(D) Streets are dusty, and the (E7) bank has been torn down
(G) It's a (A7) dyin' little (D) town
(D) Church window's broken, that place (E7) ain't been used in years
(G) Jail don't have a (A7) sheriff or a (D) cell
And electric trains, they run by maybe (E7) once or twice a month
(G) Easin' it on (A7) down to Mussel (D) Shell
(D) Ringling, Ringling (E7) slippin' away
(G) Only forty people livin' (D) there today
(D) Streets are dusty, and the (E7) bank has been torn down
(G) It's a (A7) dyin' little (D) town
And a(A)cross from the bar there's a pile of beer cans
(D) Been there twenty seven years
Im(E7)agine all the heartaches and tears in (A7) 27 years of beer
So we (D) hopped back in the rent-a-car and we (E7) hit the cruise control
(G) Pretty soon the (A7) town was out of (D) sight
But we left behind a fat barmaid, a (E7) cowboy and a dog
(G) Bracin' for a (A7) Ringling Friday (D) night
(D) Ringling, Ringling (E7) you're just slippin' away
(G) I wonder how many people will be there a (D) year from today
Cause the streets are dusty and the (E7) bank has been torn down
(G) It's a (A7) dyin' little (D) town
(G) Yeah, it's a (A7) dyin' (D) little town
