lyrics

Candy Man´s Gone Bruce Cockburn

(G) (Em) (C) (D) (G) (Em) (C) (D)
(G)Sun (Em)climbs toward high (C)noon,
(G)Glints metallic off the (Em)bowl of the spo(C)on,
(G)Sliding through the air toward (Em)parted lips,
(C) Watch the expression when the (D)straight taste hits.
Face (Em)crumples, (D) tongue's quickly with(Am7)drawn,
(C) I hate to tell you, but the (D)candy man's go(G)ne. (Em)
(C) (D) (G) (Em)

(G) Oh, sweet fan(Em)tasia of the safe ho(C)me,
(G)Where nobody has to scrape for (Em)honey at the bottom of the (C)comb,
(G) Where every actor under(Em)stands the scene,
(C) And nobody ever (D)means to be mean.
(Em)Catch it in a dream, (D)catch it in a so(Am7)ng,
(C) Seek it on the street, you find the (D)candy man's go(G)ne, (Em)
(C) I hate to tell you, but the (D)candy man's go(G)ne. (Em)
(C) (D) (G) (Em)
(C)Dum da da dee dee doo (D)dum, da da da da da
(G)Dum, da dum da da, dum(Em) da da da da da (G)dum.

In the bar, in the (Em)senate, in the alley, in the (C)study,
(G) Pimping dreams of (Em)riches for every(C)body,
(G) "Something for nothing, (Em)new lamps for old,
And the (C)streets will be platinum, (D)never mind gold."
Well, (Em)hey, (D) pass it o(Am7)n,
(C) Misplaced your faith and the (D)candy man's go(G)ne, (Em)
(C) I hate to tell you, but the (D)candy man's go(G)ne. (Em)
(C)Dum da doo doo doo doo (D)dum,
Da doo da da doo (G)dum, da dee doo dum (Em)dum,
Da doo doo dum (C)dum, da doo doo da doo (D)dum,
Da doo da da da (G)dum, da doo doo dum (Em)dum,
Da doo doo dum (C)dum, da doo doo da doo (D)dum (hold) (D) (C) (G)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
