         C                   G7             Am              E7
 Oh your pictures they don't really do you justice little girl

            A                 F           Am                    E7
 For you're careful not to let the camera touch your private world

             C                G             Am                  E7
 And there's just a hint of sadness in your smile through the dark

        Am                  F                Am             E7
 As you slip your dress off slowly for the sailor or the clerk

          Am                   Ab+              Am         Am6
 And it could have been so diff'rent and at times you feel bad

         Am              Ab+                  Am            D7
 For you really did have something that the others never had

         C         G7         C        G7 F
 And the circle turns and turns and turns  so mad

 Oh the circle turns and turns and it's     too bad, little girl.
