The Carnival is over
| D | A7 |
| Say good | bye, my own true | lover |
| D | D7 |
| As we sing a lover's | song | |
| G | A7 | D | Bm |
| How it | breaks | my heart to | leave you | |
| G | A |
| Now the | carnival is | gone |
| D | A7 |
| High a | bove, the dawn is | waking, |
| D | D7 |
| And my tears are falling | rain, | |
| G | A7 | D | Bm |
| For the | car | nival is | over | |
| G | A7 | D | D7 |
| We may | ne | ver meet a | gain | |
| G | A7 | D | Bm |
| Like a | drum | my heart was | beating | |
| G | A7 | F#m | D7 |
| And your | kiss | was sweet as | wine | |
| G | A7 | F#m | Bm |
| But the | joys | of love are | fleeting | |
| G | C | A7 |
| For | Pierrot and Colum | bine | |
| D | A7 |
| Now the | harbour light is | calling |
| D |
| This will be our last good | bye |
| G | A7 | D | Bm |
| Though the | car | nival is | over | |
| G | A7 | D | D7 |
| I will | love | you till I | die | |
| G | A7 | D | Bm |
| Though the | car | nival is | over | |
| G | A | D |
| I will | love | you till I | die |
