Little pink dress, _ _ [Eb] _
hanging [Bb] by your knees [Eb] Just _ _ overhead on [Gm] the [Bb] old trapeze
[Eb] And the old tinted night _ [Bb]
spotlight _ [Gm] going round _ _
One _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ of these nights, [Bb] the old girl's going down _ Hallelujah, [F]
the old [Bb] girl's going down
She _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ started with us on the back of a horse _ [Eb] Just _ seventeen and already [Bb] _ _
divorced
[Eb] She took to the _ [Bb] air with the _ [Gm] greatest of _ _ ease
But _ _ _ _ [F] she was born to be gliding [Eb] on the old [Bb] trapeze _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Bb] [Eb] Some people don't care [Bb] if they live or they die
_ _ [F] Some people want to know what it [Bb] feels like to fly _ _
[Eb] They gather their courage and [Gm] they give it a _ try _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ Some _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] guy broke her heart and how her heart it did ache
[Eb] So she went to the tent [Bb] and the lady of the snakes
[Eb] Gave her a potion [Bb] and she [Gm] drank it _ _ _ in _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] After that, her heart [Eb] never ached [Bb] again
_ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
Some _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] people don't care [Bb] if they live or they die
_ [F] Some people want to know what [Bb] it feels like to fly
_ [Eb] They gather their courage and [Gm] they give it a _ _ try
_ _ _ _ [F] Fall under the wheels of a time going by
Little _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
pink dress, _ _ [Eb] _ hanging [Bb] by her knees _ [Eb] Just overhead on [Gm] the [Bb] old _ trapeze
