Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]If you ever [A]go out to [D]the circus*
Where the Wallendas walk on the [A]wire
I'll [D]tell you a tale to remem
[G]ber
[D]When the white horses [A]leap
rings [D]of fire

[Verse 2]
[D]It was a cold night [A]in Oklahoma
[D]The show was about to begin[A]
The [D]animals they were all
[G]restless
[D]When the star horse she
[A]broke from [D]her pen

[Verse 3]
[D]She was [A]a mare of high spir[D]it
Just like a whore on Saturday [A]night
She's [D]kickin' and buckin' past
the [G]men who were brushin'
The [D]ele[A]phants lyin' [D]on their sides
Next to the [A]tent sat some lan
[D]terns
They were dangerously
close to [A]the hay
That mare [D]headed straight
for those lan[G]terns
Some [D]fool had put [A]there by mistake

[Verse 4]
[D]Then up stepped some In
[A]dian Cow[D]boy
His lasso went whirlin'
throught the [A]air
[D]In the full dead middle [G]of danger
[D]He roped that [A]runaway [D]mare

[Verse 5]
Then the [D]elephants [A]raised
up their trum[D]pets
Two of them broke from their chain[A]s
Stam[D]peded that Indian
Cow[G]boy
[D]Who had saved the [A]big top [D]from flames
So if you ever go [A]out to the cir[D]cus
Where [G]the [D]Wallendas walk on the wire
You [A]just re[D]member that Indian
Cow[G]boy
[D]When the white horses leap [A]rings of fire
[D]
