The Man On The Burning Tightrope Chords by Firewater

_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [D#] _ _
[F#] _ Is everybody in?
[Bm] Is everybody in? _ _
_ _ [F#] _ [Bm] Well, once upon a time there was a [F#] happy ever after [F#m] to this story, but you won't hear one today.
_ _ [Bm] [F#] The man is [Bm] sweating bullets [F#] and his heart beats out a [F#m] cold tattoo as the band begins to play.
_ [E] So everybody [Em] stand, everybody one shot, [D] give a big hand to the man on the [Bm] burning tightrope.
[F#] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ [F#] He's always walked this [Bm] tightrope [F#] between the devil and the [F#m] deep blue sea.
A monkey on a wire, _ _ [Bm] but he's drunk his cup of sorrow.
He's thrown his curses [F#m] at the moon, _ manifestos on the fire.
_ [E] So everybody [Em] stand, everybody one shot, [D] give a big hand to the man on the [Bm] burning tightrope. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] That's it, put your hands together.
_ _ The dying man.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He could have been somebody.
He could have been [F#m] somebody else.
Yes, it could have been much worse. _
[Bm] But now the show's over, people.
There's really nothing [F#m] more to see.
Hope you got your money's worth. _
[E] So everybody [Em] stand, everybody one shot, give a [F#m] big hand _ _ [F#] to the man on the burning tightrope. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Does it just mean you're getting a little _ [Bm] _ _
inch by inch, mile by [F#m] mile by day? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Come [F#] on!
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
