Tears Of A Clown

• G

G     A     D     Ax 

B-5-5-5-5-5

Now if there's a smile on my face,  
it's only there tryin' to fool the public,  
but when it comes down to foolin' you  
Now honey, that's quite a different subject  

But don't let my glad expression  
give you the wrong impression  
Really I'm sad I'm sadder than sad  
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad  
Like a clown I pretend to be glad  

A                                                                     A7 
Now there's some sad things known to man,  
                                       G                                        E 
but ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown  
nc 
when there's no one around  

Now if I appear to be carefree,  
it's only to camouflage my sadness  
In order to keep my pride  
I try to cover the hurt with a show of gladness  

But don't let my show convince you  
that I've been happy since you decided to go  
Oh, I need you so I'm hurt and I want you to know  

Now there's some sad things known to man,  
but ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown  
when there's no one around  


You can improvise a solo here     I think it's played up towards the 12 and 15th frets   


Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my surface hid  
Smiling in the crowd I try  
But in a lonely room I cry  
The tears of a clown When there's noone around,  

oh yeah, baby baby Now if there's a smile on my face  
Don't let my glad expression  
Give you the wrong impression  
Don't let this smile I wear Make you think that I don't care  
Cos really I'm sad
