She bled so hard during his birth

She was the middle child, the poet nurse
G
To the union dying swayback horse
F
And the future of the universe
[Chorus]
C F
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Gm C
When he was on the high wire

And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Gm C
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide
[Riff 1]
Dm
[Verse 2]
C
She found her son's heart that lives in a lucky unlucky man
Dm
To the strangers chest she holds her hand
G
He getting lost in the ceiling fan
F
And his modified American plan
[Chorus]

Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Gm C
When he was on the high wire

And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees

She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide

Can we get the king to catch the cannonball

Isn't there a peace we all been looking for

Day and night Far and wide
