#1.
D                         G
The girl that I intend to wed, just bought 
                  D        A                  
a gift for me and said.."I bought this specially,
G                                            D
for all your friends to see..open it up, go ahead."
 Em                           D
"Awww, that's awful swell," I said.

#2.
D                         C   G
I kissed her on the cheek and then, began to read 
             D
the note within.
 A                                G
"In these you'll look real smart, because they match 
                                D
your heart"..and so I took them out.
A     Em7                       D
Clown shoes, so, what's it all about?
    G       D
Oh, no, not clown shoes!
E          A               Dbm7       A
Maaaaaybe, I'm in for some mighty bad news.

#3.
D                               G
She laughed at me and called my name, and all my friends, 
             D
they did the same.
A                                G
Thought she was sweet and swell..and look how hard I fell.
                     D      Em7
And now I know I was wrong..so, I'll go and put my clown 
      D
shoes on.

OUTRO:
Em7                                D
so, I'll go and put my clown shoes on.
Em7                                D
so, I'll go and put my clown shoes on..(Fade.)
