Strum
D-DU-UDU
 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
