From the Album: Children Running Through
(Capo 3)
G C G
Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
C G
Just overhead on the old trapeze
C G Em
In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
D C G
One of these nights the old girl's going down
D G
Hallelujah, the old girl's going down
G
She started with us on the back of a horse
C G
Just seventeen and already divorced
C G Em
She took to the air with the greatest of ease
D C G
Like she was born to be gliding on the old trapeze
C G
Some people don't care if they live or they die
D G
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
C Em D
Gather their courage and they give it a try

G
Some guy broke her heart and how her heart it did ache
C G
So she went to the tent of the lady of the snakes
C G Em
Who gave her a potion and she drank it in
D C G
After that her heart never ached again
D G
After that her heart never ached again
C G
Some people don't care if they live or they die
D G
Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
C Em
Gather their courage and they give it a try
D
Fall under the wheels of a time goin' by
G C G
Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
C G
Just overhead on the old trapeze
C G Em
In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
D C G
One of these nights the old girl's going down
D C G
