A# D# Gm F A# D# Once upon a summer, a travelling circus came to town F G From the land down under A# D# Gm And I was filled with wonder F D# F Gm When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze D# F A# Tear through the air with the greatest of ease I got cotton candy And then in the daze, I met her gaze And she winked right at me And my heart pounded madly When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze Capture the crowd with the greatest of ease Chorus: C Gm F C She was a light in a dark lullaby A# F C That girl was raised by a butterfly Gm F D# Dm I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly G# D# A# And under the circus lights G# D# A# I must have fallen in love that night Lighter than a feather But careful as with a heavy heart She seemed to fall forever And then I wondered whether I noticed the girl on the flying trapeze Blink back a tear with the greatest of ease And she took my breath away Oh, so grand and graceful Confetti rained as she climbed through the air Like a homesick angel She makes heartache painful I thought as the girl on the flying trapeze Melted my heart with the greatest of ease Chorus: What a display of rosé poetry What a majestic menagerie I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly And under the circus lights I must have fallen in love that night C (And she took my breath away) F Am I was so enamored G C (And she took my breath away) F G All that glitz and glamor Am C (And she took my breath away) F Am I was so enamored G F G Am And that’s how the girl on the flying trapeze F G C Knocked me off my feet with the greatest of ease And then with a charming sweetness She smiled and waved and took a bow For a crowd stunned speechless And I was charmed to pieces When the girl on the flying trapeze Magically dissolved like a song on the breeze And simply broke my heart with the greatest of ease Chorus: We shook the floor with a roar of applause She seemed to drown in the oohs and aahs I hung around 'til the clowns Tore the big top down And soon it was almost dawn I looked and looked but the girl was gone Deep down, I felt kinda blue for a day or two Then clear as a bell, I knew I would run away with the circus too You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Am  C  D#  Dm  F  G  G#  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
