Sawdust In My Veins

Lyrics and Chords

Dmin 9 Dminsus4  throughout verses

The lions are tame
The horses are lame
The clowns aren’t funny at all
Jumbo’s petite
The strongman’s effete
The midgets are too tall

Gmin 9

Sawdust in my veins

Dmin   (D  E   F A bass)

Since the day that I was born

Gmin 9                           Fmin        Emin9

Upon the wings of a unicorn

The ringmaster’s blind
He’s three of a kind
Dog, demon and seraphim
He steers the ship with crack of a whip
We’re all in love with him

Gmin 9

Sawdust in my veins

Dmin   (D  E   F A bass)

Since the day that I was born

Gmin 9                           Fmin        Emin9

Upon the wings of a unicorn

MID SECTION Chords  same as Chorus

Out in the rain with my spats and my cane
I won’t give up hope
I want to be painted and decorated
And blessed by the Pope

Gmin 9

Sawdust in my veins

Dmin   (D  E   F A bass)

Since the day that I was born

Gmin 9                           Fmin        Emin9

Upon the wings of a unicorn

Lyrics

The lions are tame
The horses are lame
The clowns aren’t funny at all
Jumbo’s petite
The strongman’s effete
The midgets are too tall

Sawdust in my veins
Since the day that I was born
Upon the wings of a unicorn

The ringmaster’s blind
He’s three of a kind
Dog, demon and seraphim
He steers the ship with crack of a whip
We’re all in love with him

Sawdust in my veins
Since the day that I was born
Upon the wings of a unicorn

Out in the rain with my spats and my cane
I won’t give up hope
I want to be painted and decorated
And blessed by the Pope

Sawdust in my veins
Since the day that I was born
Upon the wings of a unicorn
