Ha, ha, said the clown    (intro) (midi)

 

D                             A    - D                                      E

   Ha, ha, said the clown,      has the king lost his crown,

                A               E         A

has the knight been tied on romance.

D                              A   - D                                 E

    Ha, ha, said the clown,     easy bringing me down,

                                                    Am - E - Am

that you`ve lost your chance.

 

   Am                                                                  E

1.     Feeling low, got to go, see your shown in town.

Am                                                          E                 Am

    Hear the jokes, have a smoke, and I laugh at the clown.

Am                                                              E

    In a word see a girl wear a smile at my eyes.

Am                                               E

    Never thought I`d be brought right down by her lies.

 

   Am                                                                                E

2.     In a trance watched you dance to the beat of the drums.

Am                                                          E               Am

    Wrested now, sweating brow, all my fingers are guns.

Am                                                                               E

    Wonder why I hit the sky when she blows me her tears,

Am                                             E             Am

    in a while, run a mile, I`m regretting all this.  + CHORUS

 

   Am                                                                                      E

3.     Take your coat, close the show, wish the people goodbye.

Am                                                             E             Am

    Grab my coat, grab my hand, look that girl in the eye.

Am                                                                                         E

    Where`s your home, what`s`s your phone, stop fooling around.

Am                                                           E           Am

    You`re a dodge, you`re a drag, I`m a wife of a clown.

 

+ CHORUS    + CHORUS
