F#m
[Verse 1]
E
She bled so hard during his birth
F#m
She was the middle child, the poet nurse
B
To the union dying swayback horse
A
And the future of the universe
[Chorus]
E A
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Bm E
When he was on the high wire
Dmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Bm E
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide
[Riff 1]
F#m
[Verse 2]
E
She found her son's heart that lives in a lucky unlucky man
F#m
To the strangers chest she holds her hand
B
He getting lost in the ceiling fan
A
And his modified American plan
[Chorus]
E A
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Bm E
When he was on the high wire
Dmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Bm E
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide

[Bridge]
F#m F G
The outcast, is digging in the yard
F#m F G
He found the mast of the Scottish second guard
Bm G
But wait, when he found the Van Gogh
Em E A C#
But no one lent an ear
[Chorus]
A E A
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Bm E
When he was on the high wire
Dmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Bm E
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide
A E A
Isn't there a peace we all been looking for
Bm E
Day and night Far and wide
Dmaj7
Don't everybody got to just grab hold, lock souls
Bm E
All rising and prizing on the high tide
