# #There are certainly more accurate representations of this song posted on the web, but #there's no way I am going to play them. Let's face it; mr.Thompson is rated 12th best #guitar player ever by Rolling Stone magazine, while I am no where on that list. But these #chords suit the average campfire player as well as the song. # Am Em High up above the crowd Am Em The great Valerio is walking Am Em His rope seems hung from cloud to cloud Am G7 Time stands still while he is walking C F Am His eye is steady on the target F G7 His foot is sure upon the rope Am Dm Alone and peacefull as a mountain Em C E7 Am And certain as a mountain slope (Chorus) B7 C F How we wonder, how we wonder G C F Watching far below Am Dm We would all be that great hero Em C E7 Am The great Valerio We falter at the sight We stumble in the mire Fools who think they see the light Prepare to balance on the wire But we learn to watch together And feed on what we see above Until our hearts turn like the season And we are acrobats of love (Chorus) Come all you upstart jugglers Are you really ready yet Who will help the tightrope walker As he stumbles to the net Come and see Valerio As he dances through the air I'm your friend untill you use me And then be sure that I'll be there
