Intro: C  D  G  Em  C  G  D  C 

VERSE 1
 
C 
I was in the air when the towers came down 
     G                  Em 
In a bar on the 84th floor 
C                  G 
I bought Philippe Petit a round 
    D                           C 
And asked what his high wire was for 
    C                           
He said  "I put one foot on the wire 
G                       Em 
One foot straight into heaven 
C                              G 
As the prophets entered boldly into the bar 
       D       C                D        C 
On the Boeing 737  Lord  on the Boeing 737" 


[Refrão]

C 
Hey  little bird  would you be the one 
G                   Em 
To nest beneath my Gatling gun? 
C 
There's nothing left I call my own 
G                         C 
Come down and build me a home 

VERSE 2
 
C 
I was in a bar when they rigged the towers 
G                      Em 
Trying to leave all my sins 
C                      G 
The barmaid asked my order 
     D                  C 
And where my mind had been 
C 
I tried to recall the high wire 
G                               Em 
Philippe and his foot there in heaven 
         C                       G 
As the prophets entered boldly into the bar 
        D       C                 D     C 
On the Boeing 737  Lord  on the Boeing 737
