Intro: [A] [D] [G] Say [D] oh yeah [A] baby [D] baby [G]
{c: }
Now [D] if there's a [A] smile [D] on my [G] face, [D]
It's only [A] there trying to [D] fool the [G] public [D]
But when it [A] comes down to [D] fooling [G] you, [D]
Now honey [A] that's quite a [D] different [G] subject [D]
Don't [A] let my [D] glad ex[G]pression [D] give [A] you the [D] wrong im[G]pression [D]
‘Cos really I'm [A] sad, [D] [G] , oh I’m [D] sadder than [A] sad [D]
Darling I’m [D] hurting so [A] bad [D]
Like a [G] clown I a[D]ppear to be [A] glad [D] , [G] Ooh [D] yeah
{c: }
Now there's some [E] sad things known to [C#] man
But ain't [F#m] too much sadder [D] than
The tears of a [A] clown [D] [G]
When there's [D] no one a[A]round [D] [G]
Say [D] oh yeah [A] baby [D] baby [G] baby
{c: }
[D] Oh yeah [A] baby [D] don’t you [G] know that [D]
If I a[A]ppear to [D] be care[G]free [D]
It's only to [A] camou[D]flage my [G] sadness
And [D] honey to [A] shield my [D] pride I [G] try
To [D] cover this [A] hurt with a [D] show of [G] gladness [D]
Don't [A] let my [D] show con[G]vince you [D]
That [A] I've been [D] happy [G] since you [D]
Decided to [A] go, [D] [G] I [D] need you [A] so [D]
Look I'm [G] hurt and I [D] want you to [A] know, [D]
Just for [G] others I [D] put on a [A] show [D], [G] Ooh [D] yeah
{c: }
Now there's some [E] sad things known to [C#] man
But ain't [F#m] too much sadder [D] than
The tears of a [A] clown [D] [G]
When there's [D] no one a[A]round [D] [G]
Say [D] oh yeah [A] baby [D] baby [G] baby
{c: }
[A] Just [D] like Pagli[G]acci [D] did
[A] I'm gonna [D] keep my [G] surface [D] hid
[A] Smiling in the[D] public [G] eye [D]
But in the [A] lonely [D] room I [G] cry
The [D] tears of a [A] clown [D] [G]
When there's [D] no one a[A]round [D] [G] [D]
Now [D] if there's a [A] smile [D] on my [G] face [D]
Don't [A] let my [D] glad ex[G]pression [D] ,give [A] you the [D] wrong im[G]pression [D]
Don't [A] let this [D] smile I [G] wear [D]
Make [A] you feel that [D] I don't [G] care
Cause I’m [A] drying [D] drying [G] drying
The [D] tears of a [A] clown [D] [G] [A] [D] [G] [A] [D] [G]
{c: }
