Intro: ADAAEAADA
Raggy Doll in my scarecrow jeans,
EA
Cold and thin as the cracks in the sidewalk.
AD
Pretty smile as big as you please,
AEA
And a heart that's made to match.
ADA
Left home with a lucky charm,
EAA dollar coin and a prayer from her Grandma.
AD
Pray the lord that you'll work hard,
AEA
and the coin will find its way back.
Chorus:
AE
Hey, living in the circle,
ADAE
One more time like you did it before.
AE
Hey, living in the circle,
ADEA
Round and round on the fall of a dollar.
ADA
Gravel roads and a patch work tent,
EA
Every step a trial for the innocent.
AD
Lord knows it was hard not to bend,
AEA
But she was true to her grandma.
ADA
She said 'It's a road where the brambles grow,
EA
toss a coin for the mountain and snow.
AD
The devil's curse is the path you don't know,
AEA
You better trust in the Lord.'
ChorusBEB
Gave her heart to a circus Joe,
FmB
Her babies raised on beans and a tight rope.
EB
Never needed to beg nor borrow no,
FmB
She had her faith in the Lord.
Bridge:
E
She said 'Yesterday's another place,
D
Tomorrows far away,
E
Today is a turn of the coin,
DE
Heads you win, tails you win again.'
ADA
Read the words on her Grandmas grave,
EA
In God we trust, Hands of faith.
AD
The lesson learnt and the coin returns
AEA
The circle stays unbroken.
