G  walk up to C                        G
Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
  C                                            G
Just overhead on the old trapeze
           C                                      G                 Em
In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
 D                                                 C                G
One of these nights the old girl's going down
 D                        C                           G
Hallelujah, the old girl's going down
  G                                                     walk up to C
She started with us on the back of a horse
   C                                 G                   walk up to C
Just seventeen and already divorced
   C                                                  G             Em
She took to the air with the greatest of ease
  D                                                                  C   G   walk up to…
Like she was born to be gliding on the old trapeze
  C                                                     G
Some people don't care if they live or they die
             D                                                 G
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
  C                                                   Em                     D
Gather their courage and they give it a try     …mmm mm
  G                                                         walk up to
Some guy broke her heart and how her heart it did ache
  C                                                    G              walk up to 
So she went to the tent of the lady of the snakes
  C                                              G            Em
Who gave her a potion and she drank it in
  D                                               C      G
After that her heart never ached again
  D                                               C     G
After that her heart never ached again
C                                                       G
Some people don't care if they live or they die
             D                                                  G
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
  C                                                 Em                     
Gather their courage and they give it a try
  D
Fall under the wheels of a time goin' by
  G         walk up to C                         G
Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
  C                                          G
Just overhead on the old trapeze
           C                                  G                     Em
In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
  D                                               C                 G
One of these nights the old girl's going down
One of these nights the old girl's going down
One of these nights the old girl's going down
One of these nights the old girl's going down
 
 D                                    C                 G
