The Greatest Show On Earth
==========================
by: Tom Russell
written by: Katy Moffat and Tom Russell
capo 1st fret
DStep up, buy a Gticket -D Front row, centre Gseat
DA real live human Gdrama of Emlove and defAeat
DDon't worry 'bout the Gcost my friend,D you'll get your money's Gworth
As a Dman Aand a wBmoman star in the Emgreatest Ashow on Dearth G D G
DMay I direct your atGtention now,D to ring number one G
DA man and a wGoman, the afEmfair has just begun A
And they Dwaltz beneath the spGotlight to a Dround of warm appGlause
DThen he puts on his Gclown mask and Emshe her tiger Aclaws
As the Bmband breaks into a Crumba, they're Bmblowing for all their wCorth
It's the Dend Aof act Bmone, in the Emgreatest Ashow on Dearth G D G
DMay I direct your atGtention now,D to ring number three G
DA man is in the spGotlight, the Emclown is on his knees A
DHe's kneeling beside a Gdancer, who has Dfallen from the Gwire
DWorking without a Gnet, was she the Emvictim of desire? A
And the Bmcrowd begins to Cwonder is this an Bmact or is she Churt?
As the Dspotlight Adims to Bmdarkness in the Emgreatest Ashow on Dearth G D G
DAnd now we're in the Gcentre ring, Dthey're lowering the Gcage
DThe lion and the Gtigress acting Emout their final Arage
DBut little children Gdon't be scared when you Dhear that closing Gsong
DThe love affair has Gended, but the Emshow it must go Aon
And the Bmcircus train moves Cdown the line from BmMemphis to Fort CWorth
DAppearing Anow in Bmyour hometown, the Emgreatest Ashow on Dearth G D G
DStep up buy a Gticket...D
