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?

More? see the people pass Lily

Don't mind what they say

Go on and be happy Lily
