E MajorE
He tried to escape once in a balloon.
E MajorE
He tried to escape once in a balloon.
    A augmentedA               E MajorE
On the foggiest day he decided not to stay.
  F# minorF#m          BB       C# minorC#m
The ground below held his wife not long ago.
  F# minorF#m         BB        E MajorE
And through the fog the ground, it disappeared.

E MajorE
He felt he had made it and starts to come down.
E MajorE
A augmentedA crowd of people that followed were cheering loud.
     A augmentedA                          E MajorE
But then something went wrong and he couldn't get back in the air.
  F# minorF#m      BB        C# minorC#m
And when he landed just inside the gates,
  F# minorF#m     BB      E MajorE
The monocle men carried him away.
