D                A7 
Say goodbye, my own true lover, 
                     D 
And we'll steal a lover's song. 
D7     G      A7          D     Bm 
How it breaks my heart to leave you
        G           A 
Now the carnival is gone. 

      D                 A7 
Oh my love, the dawn is breaking
                         D 
And my tears are falling rain, 
D7      G   A7      D  Bm 
For the carnival is over
       G     A7    D 
We may never meet again. 

D7     G    A7           D     Bm 
Like a drum my heart was beating, 
         G    A7           F#m    D7 
And your kiss was sweet as wine. 
        G    A7          F#m     Bm 
But the joys of love are fleeting 
    G                C    A7 
For Pierrot and Columbine. 
 
        D                A7 
Now the cloak of night is falling
                          D 
This will be our last goodbye. 
           G  A7       D     Bm 
Though the carnival is over, 
       G A7            D 
I will love you till I die. 

           G  A7       D     Bm 
Though the carnival is over, 
       G  A            D     A D A D A D A D A D ... 
I will love you till I die.
