===
[D#]All his life he [Cb]did his best for [D#]all
[D#]And the crown of [Cb]laughter hanging [D#]low
The [Bb]spotlight in the ring
The [D#]choruses that sing
The [A#]paint and masquer[Cb]ade was just a [D#]show

Chorus:
The [Db]clown - the [Cb]clown
[Bb]Happiness [D#]around
[A#]Just a soul [B7]lonely in the [D#]crowd
The [Db]clown - the [Cb]clown
His [Bb]heart is all [D#]alone
[A#]No one wants the [Cb]tears of a[D#] clown

The [D#]living of the [Cb]glory and [D#]applause
The [D#]circus tent, the [Cb]only home he [D#]knows
The [Bb]cover-up is bold,
The [D#]mask becoming cold
It's [A#]easier to [Cb]let the eyelids [D#]close

The [Db]clown - the [Cb]clown
[Bb]Happiness [D#]around
[A#]Just a soul [B7]lonely in the [D#]crowd
The [Db]clown - the [Cb]clown
His [Bb]heart is all [D#]alone
[A#]No one wants the [Cb]tears of a[D#] clown

The [D#]final curtain [Cb]falls for all to [D#]see
The [D#]final score, the [Cb]circus melod[D#]y
[Bb]His star that shone so bright,
[D#]Gave comfort in the night
The [A#]light that always [Cb]held him set him [D#]free

The [Db]clown - the [Cb]clown
[Bb]Happiness [D#]around
[A#]Just a soul [B7]lonely in the [D#]crowd
The [Db]clown - the [Cb]clown
His [Bb]heart is all [D#]alone
[A#]No one wants the [Cb]tears of a[D#] clown
