G5                   C5               G5  
  Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
C5                    G5
Just overhead on the old trapeze
       C5                      G5          E5
In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
D5                           C5            G5
One of these nights the old girl's going down
     D5                           G5
Hallelujah, the old girl's going down

G5 
She started with us on the back of a horse
C5                    G5
Just seventeen and already divorced
    C5                        G5           E5
She took to the air with the greatest of ease
             D5                         C5       G5
Like she was born to be gliding on the old trapeze

     C5                         G5          
Some people don't care if they live or they die
     D5                           G5          
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
     C5                        E5              D5
Gather their courage and they   give it a try

G5                 
Some guy broke her heart and how her heart it did ache
       C5                       G5  
So she went to the tent of the lady of the snakes
    C5                         G5        E5
Who gave her a potion and she drank it in
      D5                    C5        G5  
After that her heart never ached again
      D5                    G5  
After that her heart never ached again

     C5                         G5          
Some people don't care if they live or they die
     D5                           G5          
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
     C5                        E5              
Gather their courage and they   give it a try
     D5                                 
Fall under the wheels of a time goin' by

G5                   C5               G5  
  Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
C5                    G5
Just overhead on the old trapeze
       C5                      G5          E5
In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
D5                           C5            G5
One of these nights the old girl's going down
      D5                           C5            G5
