Tears Of A Clown:Smokey Robinson And The Miracles. #1 in UK and #1 in USA in 1967. #1. NC Db Gb Now, if there's a smile up..on my face,

^BIt's ^Gbonly there ^Dbtrying to ^Gbfool the ^Bpublic. ^GbBut when it comes ^Dbdown to fooling you, ^BNow, ^Gbhoney that's ^Dbquite a differ^Gbent sub^Bject.

#2.

^GbDon't ^Dblet my ^Gbglad express^Bion, ^GbGive you ^Dbthe ^Gbwrong im^Bpression. real^Gbly I'm sad.^Db...^Gb...^BOh, I'm sad^Gbder than sad. ^DbYou're ^Gbgone ^Band I'm hurt^Gbing so ^Dbbad, ^GbLike a clown ^BI appear ^Gbto be ^Dbglad.^Gb. ^B

CHORUS:

^GbNow, they're some ^Absad things known to ^Fman, but ain't ^Bbmtoo much sadder than, ^Gbmaj7the tears of a ^Dbclown, when there's no one around^Db. ^Gb ^Db

#3. Now if I appear to be carefree, It's only to camouflage my sadness. And Honey to shield my pride I try, to cover this hurt with a show of gladness. But don't let my show convince you, that I've been happy since you, decided to go. I need you so, I'm hurt and I want you to know, but for others I put on a show... CHORUS:

^BNow, if ^GbI appear just ^Dblike ^GbPagli^Bacci ^Dbdid, ^DbI try to ^Gbkeep my ^Bsad^Gbness hid. Smil^Dbing in the ^Gbpublic ^Beye, ^Gbbut in my ^Dblonely room ^GbI cry, ^Bthe tears ^Gbof a ^Dbclown, when there's no one around.^Db ^Gb ^Db

#4. Now if there's a smile on my face, don't let my glad expression, give you the wrong impression. Don't let this smile I wear, make you think that I don't care... A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
