[Verse 1]
F
 She bled so hard during his birth
                                    Gm
She was the middle child, the poet nurse
                             C
To the union dying swayback horse
                         Bb
And the future of the universe


[Chorus]
                F                Bb
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
              Cm         F
When he was on the high wire
                           Ebmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
                  Cm                                 F
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide

[Verse 2]
F
 She found her son's heart that lives in a lucky unlucky man
                                     Gm
To the strangers chest she holds her hand
                                C
He getting lost in the ceiling fan
                           Bb
And his modified American plan


[Chorus]
                F                Bb
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
              Cm         F
When he was on the high wire
                           Ebmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
                  Cm                                 F
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide

[Bridge]
Gm                Gb             Ab
  The outcast, is digging in the yard
Gm                         Gb              Ab
  He found the mast of the Scottish second guard
Cm                                Ab
  But wait, when he found the Van Gogh
                   Fm   F   Bb   D
But no one lent an ear


[Chorus]
Bb                F                Bb
  Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
              Cm         F
When he was on the high wire
                           Ebmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
                  Cm                                 F
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide


Bb               F                Bb
  Isn't there a peace we all been looking for
              Cm       F
Day and night Far and wide
                            Ebmaj7
Don't everybody got to just grab hold, lock souls
     Cm                      F
All rising and prizing on the high tide
