 And when he was through she was just half a woman

 And he'd tie her up, set her on fire

     |G/D           |Am      |Am/E          |Am
 He'd douse her with oil, the crowd would go wild

 The show went the same way year after year

|Em           |Em             |G         |G   |
 He'd wave his magic wand, and she'd disappear

|Em         |Em             |G           |G  |
 One day she asked, "How did this come to be

|Am               |Am     |C   | C    |D  | D | D | D (off on 2) |

 And one day she left, she climbed through the stage

    |G/D     |Am       |Am/E     |Am (* drum roll)| 
 And into the trap door under the lion's cage

    |n/c    |G       |G/D            |D
 And after a spell he said, "What the hell.

   |D          |C            |Cm         |G     | G |
 It was just as well. She was just half a woman."
