Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Little pink dress, hanging by her knees

Just overhead on the old trapeze

 In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round

One of these nights the old girl's going down

 Hallelujah, the old girl's going down

She started with us on the back of a horse

Just seventeen and already divorced

 She took to the air with the greatest of ease

 Like she was born to be gliding on the old trapeze

 Some people don't care if they live or they die

 Some people want to know what it feels like to fly

 Gather their courage and they give it a try

Some guy broke her heart and how her heart it did ache

 So she went to the tent of the lady of the snakes

 Who gave her a potion and she drank it in

 After that her heart never ached again

 After that her heart never ached again

 Some people don't care if they live or they die

 Some people want to know what it feels like to fly

 Gather their courage and they give it a try

 Fall under the wheels of a time goin' by

Little pink dress, hanging by her knees

Just overhead on the old trapeze

 In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round

One of these nights the old girl's going down

 Yeah. one of these nights the old girl's going down (x3)

 Ha----le----e----e (x3)

 Hallelujah Hallelujah etc
