Circle Of Steel Tab por Gordon Lightfoot

D                   C
Rows of lights in a circle of steel,
          D                    G
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
D            C                           G
High windows flickerin' down through the snow,
  D
A time you know
                         G             A
Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round,
     Cmaj7                   D
Everybody's in step with the season

A child is born to a welfare case,
          D                         G
Where the rats run around like they own the place
D           C                       G
The room is chilly, the building is old,
D
That's how it goes
                          G       A
The doctor's found on his welfare round,
       Cmaj7                      D
And he comes and he leaves on the double 
 
D                      C
Deck The Halls was the song they played,
       D                         G
In the flat next door where they shout all day
D            C                         G
She tips her gin bottle back till it's gone,
    D
The child is strong
                         G        A
A week, a day, they will take it away,
         Cmaj7                  D
For they know about all her bad habits 
 
D G A Cmaj7 D
 
D                       C
Christmas dawns and the snow lets up,
        D                          G
And the sun hits the handle of her heirloom cup
D             C                       G
She hides her face in her hands for a while,
     D
Says look here child
                            G            A
Your father's pride was his means to provide,
         Cmaj7                        D
And he's servin' three years for that reason 
 
D                   C
Rows of lights in a circle of steel,
          D                    G
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
D            C                           G
High windows flickerin' down through the snow,
  D
A time you know
                         G             A
Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round
