Chords with lyrics
[Intro - C, D, G, Em, C, G, D, C majorC]
VERSE 1
C majorC
I was in the air when the towers came down
G+G E minorEm
In a bar on the 84th floor
C majorC G+G
I bought Philippe Petit a round
D MajorD C majorC
And asked what his high wire was for
C majorC
He said, "I put one foot on the wire
G+G E minorEm
One foot straight into heaven
C majorC G+G
As the prophets entered boldly into the bar
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD C majorC
On the Boeing 737, Lord, on the Boeing 737"
CHORUS
C majorC
Hey, little bird, would you be the one
G+G E minorEm
To nest beneath my Gatling gun?
C majorC
There's nothing left I call my own
G+G C majorC
Come down and build me a home
VERSE 2
C majorC
I was in a bar when they rigged the towers
G+G E minorEm
Trying to leave all my sins
C majorC G+G
The barmaid asked my order
D MajorD C majorC
And where my mind had been
C majorC
I tried to recall the high wire
G+G E minorEm
Philippe and his foot there in heaven
C majorC G+G
As the prophets entered boldly into the bar
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD C majorC
On the Boeing 737, Lord, on the Boeing 737
