G (320003@1)                 C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1)
  Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
C (x32010@1)                  GJust (320003@1)overhead on the old trapeze
       C (x32010@1)                    G (320003@1)        EmIn (022000@1)the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
D (xx0232@1)                         C (x32010@1)          GOne (320003@1)of these nights the old girl's going down
     D (xx0232@1)                         GHallelujah, (320003@1)the old girl's going down

     C (x32010@1)                       G (320003@1)        
Some people don't care if they live or they die
     D (xx0232@1)                         G (320003@1)        
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly

G (320003@1)               
Some guy broke her heart and how her heart it did ache
       C (x32010@1)                     G (320003@1)
So she went to the tent of the lady of the snakes
    C (x32010@1)                       G (320003@1)      EmWho (022000@1)gave her a potion and she drank it in
      D (xx0232@1)                  C (x32010@1)      G (320003@1)
After that her heart never ached again
      D (xx0232@1)                  G (320003@1)
After that her heart never ached again

     C (x32010@1)                       G (320003@1)        
Some people don't care if they live or they die

Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
     C (x32010@1)                      Em (022000@1)            
Gather their courage and they   give it a try
     D (xx0232@1)                               
Fall under the wheels of a time goin' by
