Chords with lyrics

(Capo 3)

G+G          C majorC        G+G
 Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
C majorC          G+G
Just overhead on the old trapeze
    C majorC           G+G     E minorEm
In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
D MajorD              C majorC      G+G
One of these nights the old girl's going down
   D MajorD              G+G
Hallelujah, the old girl's going down

G+G
She started with us on the back of a horse
C majorC          G+G
Just seventeen and already divorced
  C majorC            G+G      E minorEm
She took to the air with the greatest of ease
       D MajorD             C majorC    G+G
Like she was born to be gliding on the old trapeze

   C majorC             G+G
Some people don't care if they live or they die
   D MajorD              G+G
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
   C majorC            E minorEm       D MajorD
Gather their courage and they  give it a try

G+G
Some guy broke her heart and how her heart it did ache
    C majorC            G+G
So she went to the tent of the lady of the snakes
  C majorC             G+G    E minorEm
Who gave her a potion and she drank it in
   D MajorD          C majorC    G+G
After that her heart never ached again
   D MajorD          G+G
After that her heart never ached again

   C majorC             G+G
Some people don't care if they live or they die
   D MajorD              G+G
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
   C majorC            E minorEm
Gather their courage and they  give it a try
   D MajorD
Fall under the wheels of a time goin' by

G+G          C majorC        G+G
 Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
C majorC          G+G
Just overhead on the old trapeze
    C majorC           G+G     E minorEm
In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
D MajorD              C majorC      G+G
One of these nights the old girl's going down
   D MajorD              C majorC      G+G
Yeah. one of these nights the old girl's going down (x3)
   D MajorD   C majorC  G+G
Ha----le----e----e (x3)
   D MajorD
Hallelujah Hallelujah etc
