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"
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
CHORUS (2x)
