The Hollies - Clown

I see a ^Cclown painting his ^Emface once more ^ABefore the show has ^Emstarted ^{B7 Em} He paints a ^Csmile on his face with his ^Emmakeup now ^A Although he's broken ^Emhearted

But the ^Crule of the clown is ^Dsimple And the ^Cshow must go on as ^Falways ^EmPeople are there to ^Dlaugh at him And ^Che mustn't let them ^Fdown^Em_____^F___^Em____^B7___ ^Em

He's lost some^Cone dear to him and he's ^Emcrying now ^A Although he doesn't ^Emshow it ^{B7 Em} He gives the ^Cshow of his life, though he's ^Embreaking down ^A Although you'd never ^Emknow it

But there's ^Csomething different a^Dbout his smile An ^Cunfamiliar ^Ffrown Yes, there's ^Emsomething different a^Dbout him now He's ^Empainted his ^A7smile on upside ^Fdown^Em__
