Tuning: EADGBE

C majorC    G7G7      C majorC
If you ever go out to the c ircus
                 G+G
Where the Wallendas walk on the w ire
   C majorC           FF
I'll tell you a tale to rem ember
      C majorC       G7G7      C majorC
When the wh ite horses le ap rings of f ire

     C majorC   G7G7      C majorC
It was a cold n ight in Okla homa
             G+G
The show was about to be gin
    C majorC           FF
The an imals they were all r estless
     C majorC      G7G7      C majorC
When the star-pony b roke from her pen

   C majorC     G7G7       C majorC
Now s he was a m are of high sp irit
               G+G
Like a whore on a Saturday n ight
    C majorC                      FF
Just k ickin' and fuckin' past the men who were br ushin'
   C majorC     G7G7       C majorC
The e lephants l ying on their s ides

    C majorC      G7G7       C majorC
Well cl ose to the t ent sat some la nterns
             G+G
Dangerously next to the h ay
    C majorC                FF
That m are headed straight for those la nterns
      C majorC      G7G7     C majorC
That some f ool had put there by m istake

   C majorC       G7G7    C majorC
Well up steps some Indian C majorC owboy
                   G+G
His lasso went whirlin' through the a ir
     C majorC           FF
In the f ull dead-middle of da nger
   C majorC     G7G7    C majorC
He r oped that runaway m are

     C majorC      G7G7     C majorC
The elep hants raised up their tr umpets
                G+G
Two of them broke from their ch ains
     C majorC          FF
And stam peded that Indian Co wboy
     C majorC     G7G7       C majorC
Who had s aved the b ig-top from fl ames


   C majorC      G7G7      C majorC
So if you ever go out to the c ircus
                 G+G
Where the Wallendas walk on the w ire
   C majorC         FF
Reme mber that Indian C majorC owboy
      C majorC      G7G7       C majorC
When the wh ite horses l eap rings of f ire
G7G7        C majorC
