[Verse 1]
F#
She bled so hard during his birth
G#m
She was the middle child, the poet nurse
C#
To the union dying swayback horse
Cb
And the future of the universe
[Chorus]
F# Cb
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
C#m F#
When he was on the high wire
Fbmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
C#m F#
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide
[Riff 1]
G#m
[Verse 2]
F#
She found her son's heart that lives in a lucky unlucky man
G#m
To the strangers chest she holds her hand
C#
He getting lost in the ceiling fan
Cb
And his modified American plan
[Chorus]
F# Cb
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
C#m F#
When he was on the high wire
Fbmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
C#m F#
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide

G#m G A
The outcast, is digging in the yard
G#m G A
He found the mast of the Scottish second guard
C#m A
But wait, when he found the Van Gogh
F#m F# Cb D#
But no one lent an ear
[Chorus]
Cb F# Cb
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball

When he was on the high wire

And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
C#m F#
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide
Cb F# Cb
Isn't there a peace we all been looking for
C#m F#
Day and night Far and wide
Fbmaj7
Don't everybody got to just grab hold, lock souls

All rising and prizing on the high tide
