Joe Purdy - Ode to sad clown

^CDarling I been down and out e^Gver since you left town ^AmWell I ain't been the same, no ^Fmatter how I ^Gtry ^CSometimes we don't get to choose, the ^Gones who wear the walking shoes ^AmI'm just a poor boy with the blues, no th^Fat ain't nothing^G new

^CI'm gonna fill this whiskey cup, ^GI'm gonna pick me some banjo up ^AmI'm gonna play with the Tragedies, sing^Fing good time ^Gharmonies ^CB. Wright don't you let me down, p^Glay that one called Sad Clown, ^AmYou know that one's about me, I been t^Fhinking about leav^Ging town

^CWell sunshine she came out today, ^Git don't matter anyways ^Am'Cause I still see the water, and it's dri^Fpping down my ^Gdoor ^CI used to hear the children play, I^G used to hear the birds sing ^AmOne day they just stopped, and I don't ^Fhear them any^Gmore

^COh and I got caught in this whistling wind, ^Gdoing my best to regret these sins ^AmLord would you forgive me if you kn^Few I'm gonna do ^Git again? ^CAnd it's not that I'm not sorry, Lord, no it's^G just that I'm not strong ^Am'Cause when that woman looks at me I can^F't remember r^Gight from wrong
