 #This may not be exact, (it's hard to transcribe a 12
 #string guitar when you don't have one) but it sounds okay.
 #The actual is somewhere high up on the neck (I don't
 #feel like finding out where).
 #
 #If anyone knows what the lyric is that I have written as
 #"More? see the people pass Lily", please let me know.

 #Introduction (spoken)
 #
 #If you're ever in New York...(Is it a girl?)
 #If you're ever in New York, there's not very
 #many carnivals going on
 #And that may not be much, but uh...
 #If you're used to a carnival every once in a while
 #Then New York doesn't have it
 #Then you gotta write a carnival song
 #But that don't really make it either
 #'Cause what's a song without a carnival?
