capo 1st fret
RE SOL RE SOL
Step up, buy a ticket - Front row, centre seat
RE SOL MIm LA
A real live human drama of love and defeat
RE SOL RE SOL
Don't worry 'bout the cost my friend, you'll get your money's worth
RE LA SIm MIm LA RE SOL RE SOL
As a man and a woman star in the greatest show on earth
RE SOL RE SOL
May I direct your attention now, to ring number one
RE SOL MIm LA
A man and a woman, the affair has just begun
RE SOL RE SOL
And they waltz beneath the spotlight to a round of warm applause
RE SOL MIm LA
Then he puts on his clown mask and she her tiger claws
SIm DO SIm DO
As the band breaks into a rumba, they're blowing for all their worth
RE LA SIm MIm LA RE SOL RE SOL
It's the end of act one, in the greatest show on earth
RE SOL RE SOL
May I direct your attention now, to ring number three
RE SOL MIm LA
A man is in the spotlight, the clown is on his knees
RE SOL RE SOL
He's kneeling beside a dancer, who has fallen from the wire
RE SOL MIm LA
Working without a net, was she the victim of desire?
SIm DO SIm DO
And the crowd begins to wonder is this an act or is she hurt?
RE LA SIm MIm LA RE SOL RE SOL
As the spotlight dims to darkness in the greatest show on earth
RE SOL RE SOL
And now we're in the centre ring, they're lowering the cage
RE SOL MIm LA
The lion and the tigress acting out their final rage
RE SOL RE SOL
But little children don't be scared when you hear that closing song
RE SOL MIm LA
The love affair has ended, but the show it must go on
SIm DO SIm DO
And the circus train moves down the line from Memphis to Fort Worth
RE LA SIm MIm LA RE SOL RE SOL
Appearing now in your hometown, the greatest show on earth
RE SOL RE
Step up buy a ticket...
