Intro:
[Emcem] [Emamcb7] [Em]All his life he [D]did his best for [Em]all
[Em]And the crown of [D]laughter hanging [Em]low
The [Am]spotlight in the ring
The [Em]choruses that sing
The [C]paint and masquer[D]ade was just a [Em]show

Chorus:
The [G]clown – the [D]clown
[Am]Happiness [Em]around
[C]Just a soul [B7]lonely in the [Em]crowd
The [G]clown – the [D]clown
His [Am]heart is all [Em]alone
[C]No one wants the [D]tears of a[Em]clown

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

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

The [G]clown – the [D]clown
[Am]Happiness [Em]around
[C]Just a soul [B7]lonely in the [Em]crowd
The [G]clown – the [D]clown
His [Am]heart is all [Em]alone
[C]No one wants the [D]tears of a[Em]clown
