E                                    (riff)
he tried to escape once in a balloon
E                                    (riff)
he tried to escape once in a balloon
       A                                 E
on the foggiest day he decided not to stay
    F#m                   B             C#m
the ground below held his wife not long ago
    F#m                 B                E
and through the fog the ground, it dissappeared

E                                           (riff)
he felt he had made it and starts to come down
E                                             (riff)
a crowd of people that followed were cheering loud
         A                                                    E
but then something went wrong and he couldn't get back in the air
    F#m            B               C#m
and when he landed just inside the gates
    F#m          B            E
the monocled men carried him away
