#1.
G       C                G            G7
Say goodbye, my own true lover, as we sing a 
        C    C7
lover's song.
       F                  C
How it breaks my heart to leave you...
Am      F           G  G7
now the carnival is gone.

#2.
      C                 G      
High above, the dawn is waking, and my 
G7                C   C7
tears are falling rain.
        F           C     Am     F           C   C7
For the carnival is over..we may never meet again.

CHORUS:
C7     F    G            C
Like a drum my heart was beating,
Am       F    G            Em
and your kiss was sweet as wine.
       F    G           Em
But the joys of love are fleeting,
Am       F            Bb  G         
for Pierrot and Col..um..bine.

#3.
        C                G                  G7
Now the harbour light is calling..this will be 
             C   C7
our last goodbye.
           F           C       Am     F    
Though the carnival is over....I will love you,
G      C  C7
till I die.

CHORUS:
C7     F    G            C
Like a drum my heart was beating,
Am       F    G            Em
and your kiss was sweet as wine.
        F    G           Em
But the joys of love are fleeting,
Am      F            Bb  G         
for Pierrot and Col..um..bine.
