Trapeze Patty Griffin
From the Album: Children Running Through
(Capo 3)
[G] Little pink dress,[C] hanging by her [G]knees
[C]Just overhead on the [G]old trapeze
In the [C]old tent tonight, spotl[G]ight going [Em]round
[D]One of these nights the old [C]girl's going [G]down
Halle[D]lujah, the old girl's going [G]down
[G]She started with us on the back of a horse
[C]Just seventeen and al[G]ready divorced
She [C]took to the air with the [G]greatest of [Em]ease
Like she was [D]born to be gliding on the [C]old trap[G]eze
Some [C]people don't care if they [G]live or they die
Some [D]people want to know what it [G]feels like to fly
Gathe[C]r their courage and they [Em] give it a try[D]
[G]Some guy broke her heart and how her heart it did ache
So she [C]went to the tent of the [G]lady of the snakes
Who [C]gave her a potion and she [G]drank it [Em]in
After [D]that her heart never [C]ached aga[G]in
After [D]that her heart never [G]ached again
Some [C]people don't care if they [G]live or they die
Some [D]people want to know what it [G]feels like to fly
Gathe[C]r their courage and they [Em] give it a try
Fall [D]under the wheels of a time goin' by
[G] Little pink dress,[C] hanging by her [G]knees
[C]Just overhead on the [G]old trapeze
In the [C]old tent tonight, spotl[G]ight going [Em]round
[D]One of these nights the old [C]girl's going [G]down
Yeah. [D]one of these nights the old [C]girl's going [G]down (x3)
[D] [C] [G]
Ha----le----e----e (x3)
Halle[D]lujah Hallelujah etc
