Am
[Verse 1]
G
She bled so hard during his birth
Am
She was the middle child, the poet nurse
D
To the union dying swayback horse
C
And the future of the universe
[Chorus]
G C
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Dm G
When he was on the high wire
Fmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Dm G
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide
[Riff 1]
Am
[Verse 2]
G
She found her son's heart that lives in a lucky unlucky man
Am
To the strangers chest she holds her hand
D
He getting lost in the ceiling fan
C
And his modified American plan
[Chorus]
G C
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Dm G
When he was on the high wire
Fmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Dm G
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide

The outcast, is digging in the yard
Am Ab A#
He found the mast of the Scottish second guard
Dm A#
But wait, when he found the Van Gogh
Gm G C E
But no one lent an ear
[Chorus]
C G C
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Dm G
When he was on the high wire
Fmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Dm G
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide
C G C
Isn't there a peace we all been looking for
Dm G
Day and night Far and wide
Fmaj7
Don't everybody got to just grab hold, lock souls
Dm G
All rising and prizing on the high tide
