[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
A [C]drop
at his [G]heels but no [C]shiver in his [G]back
He [C]takes a deep [G]breath and he flies
[C]Over the [G]crowd with [C]knuckles of [G]ice
[C]Everyone [G]gasps in surprise
He [C]swings a great arc to the apex
If
Newton were here, he'd be perplexed by
The [Em]ac r[D]obat[G]
[C]The[Em] acro[D]bat[C][G]
[C][G][C][D][G]
Three [C]flips and [G]then he [C]grips the trapeze
[G]Whilst one[C] hand appea[G]rs to be waving
He [C]throws his head [G]backwards
and [C]hangs by his [G]knees
Not [C]one bead of [D]sweat is he break[G]ing
In [C]one breath he flies like a comet
With eyes closed I shout, has he caught it?
The [Em]uncalled [D]-by[G][C][Em]
[D]The un[G]called [D]-by[C][G][C][G]
[C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G]
So in the between times
the [C]sleep hath [G]arised
The [C]acrobat [G]swings in my mind's eye
The [C]troubles that [G]weigh
on me [C]at such a time
[G]He eas[C]ily doe[G]s defy
Where [C]troubles abound in their places,
sit hundreds of mesmerized faces.
