The Man On The Flying Trapeze Tab de uke por Donald Peers

[Verse 1]
D7  G          E7          C
Oh, once I was happy, but now I'm forlorn,
D7                        G            D7
Like an old coat that is tatter'd and torn.
     G            E7             C
I'm left in this wide world to fret and to mourn,
D7                         G
Betrayed by a maid in her teens.
 
[Verse 2]
      Em              B7            Em
Now this girl that I loved, she was handsome and swell,
        Em          B7          Em
And I tried all I knew her to please;
       Em           B7            Em         A7
But I never could please her one quarter so well,
         A7                   D7
As that man on the flying trapeze.
 
[Chorus]
        G              E7             A7
Oh, he flies thro' the air with the greatest of ease,
     D7                     G          D7
The daring young man on the flying trapeze.
      G             E7            A7
His movements are graceful; all girls he does please,
    D7                         G
And my love he has purloined away.
