[B] High up above [F#] the crowd,
[G] [G#] the great Valerio [C#] is walking.
[B] The rope seems hung [G#] from cloud [C] to cloud,
[G] and [F#] time stands still while [A] he is walking.
[G] His eye is steady [A] on the [F#] target, [G] his foot is sure upon the [A] rope.
[G]
[F#] [G#] Alone [B] and peaceful as a [E] mountain,
[F#] certain as the mountain slope.
[B] We falter [C] at the sight, [G] [C] [B] we stumble as [C#]
[G#] fools who think they see [F#] the light.
[C] [F#] Prepared to balance [A] on the wire, [G] but we learn [A] to watch [B] together.
[F#m] [G] And feed on what we [A] see above,
[D] [F#] [B] till our hearts turn like [E] the seasons and [C] [F#]
[F#] the [B] battleflow.
We [C#]
wonder, [D]
[G] wonder, [A] watching
[D] far [G] below, [B] we would all be [F#] [E] that great hero, [C] the great
[F#] [Bm] Valerio.
[G#]
[Em] [F#]
[G] [F#]
[Bm] [B] Come all you [F#] upstart jugglers, are [G] [B] you really ready [C#] yet?
Who will help the [Cm] tightrope [F#] walker
[G] [B] when he tumbles to the [A] net?
So [G] come with me [C#]
to [A] see [B] Valerio as [G] he [G]
dances [A] through the air.
[F#] [B] I'm your friend until [E] you use me,
[C] [F#m] be [F#] sure I [B] won't be there.
We [C#] wonder, wonder, how [D] we [G] wonder, [A] watching [D] far [G] below.
[F#] We would all be
[E] that great hero, [C] the [F#m] great
[A#] [F#] Valerio.
