🎶 The Joker

There's [Bb]always a joker [A#]in the pack
There's [Em]always a lonely [Eb]clown
The [Bb]poor laughing fool [A#]falls on his back
And [Em]everyone laughs when he's [D]down
There's [Bb]always a funny man [A#]in the game
But [Em]he's only funny by [Eb]mistake
[D#m]And everyone laughs at him just the same
They [A#m]don't see his lonely heart [D]break

[E5]They don't care as long as [D#]there is a jester, [D]just a [Bb]fool
[D#]As foolish as he [Bb]can [D#] [Bb]be
[D#]There's always a [A#]joker, [D]that's the [Bbm]rule
But [D#]fate deals the [Bb]hand that I [D]see

The joker is [Em]me, [Bb]the joker is [Em] [Bb]me
The joker is [Em]me, [Bb]the joker is [Em] [Bb]me
The joker is me

Drink the poison
'Cause [Bb]there's always a loser [A#]in the game
The [Em]court loves to watch them [Eb]cry
The [Bb]royals shout, [A#]"This queen needs to sing"
To [Em]ruffle the scene of the [D]crime
The [Bb]king wears a funny [A#]suit, he's a clown
The [Em]crowd rumbles with their [Eb]roars
[A#maj7]And everyone watches as he [D#m]declines
The [A#m]queen pierces him with a [D]sword

[E5]I don't care as long as [D#]there is a wild man [D]in the [Bb]deck
[D#]As long as I see his [Bb] [D#] [Bb]frown
Then [D#]I won't be [A#]lonely, [D]that's a [Bbm]fact
I stand [D#]here and [Bb]wait for his [D]sound, ha, ha, ha

The joker is [Em]me, [Bb]the joker is [Em] [Bb]me
The joker is [Em]me, [Bb]the joker is [Em] [Bb]me
The joker is [D] [Bbm] [D#] [Bb]me

The joker is [D] [Bbm] [D#] [Bb]me
The joker is me⠀
