The Daring Young Man On The Flying Trapeze Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
A [D]man once [G]was happy,
but now he's forlorn
[D]Like an old coat that is [G]tattered and torn
Left in this wide world
to weep [C]and [A]to mourn
Be[D]trayed by a maid in her [G]teens
Oh, [Em]this maid that he loved,
she was handsome
And he tried all he knew how to [B]please
But [Em]he never could please
her one quarter
So well as the [A]man on the flying [D]trapeze I
float through the [G]air with the [C]greatest
of ease
[Am]The [D]daring young man
[G]on the flying trapeze
My actions are graceful,
O [C]girls, [Am]I do please,
[D]And as love [G]I paralyneth away.
I [Em]play with the mist like the
cat with the mouse,
My eyes would undress every maid [B]in the house,
Perhaps I [Em]am better described as a louse,
but [A]still people come just [D]the same.
I [Em]smiled from the bar on the people below,
and one night I smiled [A]on his [B]love.
As [Em]she blew me a kiss, and she hollered,
Bravo!
[A]As I hung by the bar from above.
[D]I float through the air[G] with the greatest of [C]eas[Am]e,
[D]The daring young man on
[G]the flying trapeze.
My actions are graceful,
all girls [C]I do [Am]please,
[A]An d his [D]love I paraloined
F [G]away
Some [C]months af[Em]ter that he came into a hall
To a surprise he found there [B]on the wall
A [Em]bill of red letters which did his heart gall
But [A]she was appearing with [D]me
[Em]I taught her gymnastics and dressed her in
tights to help me live at [B]my ease.
I [Em]made her take on a masculine name,
and now [A]she goes on the [D]trapeze.
I [G]float through the air with the
[C]greatest of ease
[Am]The [D]daring young man
on the [G]flying trapeze
My actions are graceful, all [C]girls I do [Am]please
An[D]d his love I purloineth [G]away
[D]An d his love I purloineth away
[G]And his[D] love keeps her loi[G]neth

[Outro 1]
away.
