Sun down, sun down,
        C      G       C     G
they're taking all the tents down
C                               G
Where have you gone my handsome Billy?
 
C   G     C   G
Sun down, sun down,
    C        G      C       G
the carnival trains leaving town
C                         G
Where are you now darling Billy?
 
D                            
We won't be dancing together 
C           D
on the high wire,
           C              
facing the lions with you 
      D       C
at my side anymore
D                     
We won't be breathing 
    C             D
the smoke and the fire,
     C\G C\G C\G C\G  D
on a midway
 
D
Hanging from the trapeze,
   C                       D
my wrists waiting for your wrists
                     C               D
Two daredevils high upon the wall of death
                        
You throwing the knife, 
         C              D
it lands inches from my heart
C\G C\G C\G C\G
Sun down
 
C
Moon rise, moon rise,
    G              
the light that was 
        D       C     G
in your eyes is gone away
C
Daybreak, daybreak,
    G                         
the thing in you that made me 
D       C     G
ache is gonna stay
 
D                         
We'll be riding the train 
   C          D
without you tonight
               C        G
The train that keeps on moving,
                 
it s black smoke 
C                     G
scorching the evening sky
 
D                                  
Millions of stars shining above us 
     C                     D
like every soul living and dead
 
It's been gathered together by God,
       C              D
sing a hymn over your bones
 
C   G     C   G
Sun down, sun down,
C     G       C   G
Empty are the fairgrounds
C                          G
Where are you now handsome Billy?
