[Verse 1]
A
She bled so hard during his birth
Bm
She was the middle child, the poet nurse
E
To the union dying swayback horse
D
And the future of the universe
[Chorus]
A D
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Em A
When he was on the high wire
Gmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Em A
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide
[Riff 1]
Bm
[Verse 2]
A
She found her son's heart that lives in a lucky unlucky man
Bm
To the strangers chest she holds her hand
E
He getting lost in the ceiling fan
D
And his modified American plan
[Chorus]
A D
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Em A
When he was on the high wire
Gmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Em A
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide

The outcast, is digging in the yard
Bm A# C
He found the mast of the Scottish second guard
Em C
But wait, when he found the Van Gogh
Am A D F#
But no one lent an ear
[Chorus]
D A D
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Em A
When he was on the high wire
Gmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Em A
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide
D A D
Isn't there a peace we all been looking for
Em A
Day and night Far and wide
Gmaj7
Don't everybody got to just grab hold, lock souls
Em A
All rising and prizing on the high tide
