[Intro]
ADGDADG
Oh yeah baby baby
[Verse]
DADGDADG
Now if there's a smile on my face, it's only there trying to fool the public
DADGDADG
But when it comes down to fooling you, well now honey, that's quite a different subject
DADGDADG
So don't let my glad ex-pression, give you the wrong im-pression
DADGDAD
cause really I'm sad, (I'm so sad) oh I'm sadder than sad (I'm so sad)
GDADGDADGD
Look I'm hurt and I want you so bad, (I'm so sad) Like a clown I ap-pear to be glad oooh yeah
[Chorus]
EC#
Now there's some sad things known to man
F#mDADGDA
But ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown, when there's no one a-round
DGDADG
Oh yeah baby baby, Oh yeah baby baby
[Verse]
DADGDADG
Now if I ap-pear to be care-free, it's only to camou-flage my sadness
DADGDADG
In order to shield my pride I try, to cover this hurt with a show of gladness
DADGDADG
So don't let my show con-vince you, that I've been happy since you
DADGDAD
De-cided to go, oh I need you so
GDADGDADGD
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know, just for others I put on a show oooh yeah
[Chorus]
EC#
Now there's some sad things known to man
F#mDADGDADGD
But ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown, when there's no one a-round
[Bridge]
ADGDADGD
Just like Pag-liacci did, I'm gonna keep my sadness hid
ADGDADG
Hiding in the gloom I try, but in this lonely room I cry
DADGDADGD
The tears of a clown, when there's no one a-round
[Sax Solo]
ADGDADGDADGDADG
[Outro]
DADGDADGDADG
Now if there's a smile on my face, don't let my glad ex-pression, give you the wrong im-pression
DADGDADG
Well don't let this smile I wear, make you feel that I don't care
DADGDADG
The tears of a clown (the tears of a clown), the tears of a clown (the tears of a clown)
DADGDADG
The tears of a clown (I'm going down the town), the tears of a clown (I'm going down town) (Fade)
