Verse 1
Once (G major) I was happy,
but now (C major) I'm forlorn
Like (D major) an old coat that
is tattered (G major) and torn
Left on this world of bread (C major) and more
Betrayed (D major) by a maid in her teens (G major)
The (E minor) girl that I loved, she was hand (A minor) some
I tried (E minor) all I knew her to please (A minor)
But I (E minor) could not please her
one quarter (A minor) so well
As the (C major) man on the flying trapeze (D major)
He'd (G major) fly through the air
with the (C major) greatest of ease
That dar (D major) ing young man
on the (G major) flying trapeze
His movements were graceful,
all (C major) girls couldn't please
My lad, (D major) he purlined away (G major)
This young man by name
is in (C major) your bonus slang
Tall, (D major) big and handsome,
he's (G major) well made his chain
Wherever he appeared,
the hall loudly (C major) rang
With a (D major) vision from all people there (G major)
He'd smile (E minor) from the barn
to (A minor) people below
One (E minor) night he smiled on my (A minor) love
She winked (E minor) back at him
as she shouted (A minor) Bravo
As he (C major) hung by his nose up above (D major)
He'd fly (G major) to the air with
the (C major) greatest of ease
That daring (D major) young man
on the (G major) flying trapeze
His movements were graceful,
all (C major) girls could be pleased
And my (D major) love, he'd be mine away
(G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) (D major) (G major)
Her father and mother
were both (C major) on my side
An (D major) d very hard tried to make (G major) her my bride
Her father he sighed,
her (C major) mother she cried
He'd (D major) see her to herself away (G major)
Twice (E minor) I'll know there she
went there (A minor) every night
And would (E minor) throw him
bouquets on the stage (A minor)
Which caused (E minor) him to meet her,
how he (A minor) ran me down
To tell (C major) you would take her whole page (D major)
So one (G major) night, as usual,
I (C major) went to her home
Found (D major) there her father and mother (G major) alone
I asked for my love
and soon (C major) they made it known
To my hor (D major) ror, she'd run away (G major)
He taught (E minor) her gymnastics
and (A minor) dressed her in tights
To (E minor) help him live at his ease (A minor)
And made (E minor) her assume a (A minor) masculine name
And now she (C major) goes on the trapeze (D major)
She dives (G major) through the air
with the (C major) greatest of ease
You'd (D major) think her that man
on the (G major) flying trap
Her movements were graceful,
all (C major) girls she could please
And (D major) that was the end of my love (G major)
He'd fly through the air
with the (C major) greatest of ease
That daring (D major) young man
on the (G major) flying trapeze
His movements were graceful,
all (C major) girls could he please
And my (D major) love, he purled on away (G major)
Yeah, my love, (D major) you pearl on the (G major) white
My love, (D major) you pearl on the
(G major) white
