Carnival Song/Hi Lily Hi Lo
(Buckley)/(Deutch)

TIM BUCKLEY
From Dream Letter Live In London 1968

C: x3x010
C/B: x2x010
C/A: x0x010
C/G: 3xx010
CaddD: x2303x
F6: xx3231
Dm/C: x3x231
Fsus2: xx3011

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?
