Tears Of A Clown

x 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 Now there's some sad things known to man, 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
