The Great Valerio Chords by Richard & Linda Thompson

_ _ _ _ [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. _ _
