There are certainly more accurate representations of this song posted on the web, but
there's no way I am going to play them. Let's face it; mr.Thompson is rated 12th best
guitar player ever by Rolling Stone magazine, while I am no where on that list. But these
chords suit the average campfire player as well as the song.
AmHigh up above the crEmowd
AmThe graet Valerio is wEmalking
AmHis rope sems hung from cloud to cEmloud
AmTime stands still while he is G7walking
CHis eye is sFteady on the tAmarget
FHis foot is sure upon the G7rope
AmAlone and peacefull as a Dmmountain
EmAnd certain aCs a mouE7ntain sAmlope
(Chorus)
B7How we wonder, hCow we wFonder
GWatching fCar beFlow
AmWe would all be that gDmreat hero
EmThe great CVaE7lerAmio
We falter at the sight
We stumble in the mire
Fools who think they see the light
Prepare to balance on the wire
But we learn to watch together
And feed on what we see above
Until our hearts turn like the season
And we are acrobats of love
(Chorus)
Come all you upstart jugglers
Are you really ready yet
Who will help the tightrope walker
As he stumbles to the net
Come and see Valerio
As he dances through the air
I'm your friend untill you use me
And then be sure that I'll be there
