Intro:  [Bb7]   [A7]  - ie last line of verse 1  
{C:}   
Well in [D7] nineteen-forty [G] one a happy [C7] father had a [A] son   
And by [D7] nineteen-forty [G] four the father [C7] walks right out the [A] door    
And in [D7] forty [G] five the mom and [C7] son were still a-[A]live   
But [Bb7] who could tell in forty six if the [A7] two were to survive   
{C:}   
Well the [D7] years were passing [G] quickly,    
but not [C7]  fast enough for [A] him   
So he [D7] closed his eyes through [G] fifty five,    
then he [C7] opened them up [A] again   
Then he [D7] looked around he [G] saw a clown    
and the [C7] clown seemed very [A] gay   
And he [Bb7] set that night to join that circus [A7] clown and run away  
{C:}  
Well allololo la diddy etc  (chords as per verse above) 
{C:}   
Well he [D7] followed every [G] railroad track and [C7] every highway [A] sign   
And he [D7] had a girl in [G] each new town    
and the [C7] towns he left be-[A]hind   
And the [D7] open [G] road was the [C7] only  road that he [A] knew   
But the [Bb7] color of his dreams was slowly [A7] turning into blue   
{C:} 
Then he [D7] met a girl, the [G] kind of girl he [C7] wanted all his [A] life   
She was [D7] soft and kind and [G] good to him,    
so he [C7] took her for a [A] wife   
And they [D7] got a house not [G] far from town and [C7] in a little [A] while   
The [Bb7] girl had seen the doctor and she [A7] came home  with a  smile   
{C:} 
Now in [D7] nineteen-sixty [G] one a happy [C7] father had a [A] son   
And by [D7] nineteen-sixty [G] four the father [C7] walked right out the [A] door   
And in [D7] sixty [G] five the mom and [C7] son were still a-[A]round   
But [Bb7] what  will  happen to the boy when the [A7] circus comes to town   
Well allololo la diddy etc  (chords as per verse)  fading
