G    A7       D      G    A7    D 
Isn't it rich?  Aren't we a pair? 
A7  D       A7   D                  D7         G 
Me here at last on the ground, and you in mid-air 
Em7    G       D        Em7   G   D 
Send in the clowns. 
G    A7       D      G    A7      D 
Isn't it bliss?  Don't you approve? 
A7  D         A7      D               D7            G 
One who keeps tearing around, and one who can't move. 
Em7    G             D       Em7     G    A7      D 
But where are the clowns?  Send in the clowns.
 
Bridge: 
 C#7         F#m7    Bm7     F#m7 
Just when I stopped opening doors, 
 C#7     F#m7        Bm7         F#m7         Bm7 
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours; 
F#m        E7                    F#m7    E7 
Making my entrance again with my usual flair, 
Bm7         F#m7    Em7        A7 
Sure of my lines  no one is there. 
G     A7         D      G   A7      D 
Don't you love farce?  My fault, I fear; 
A7  D          A7     D       D7M       D7        G 
I thought that you'd want what I wantsorry my dear. 
     Em7    G         A7            Em7  G  A7    D 
But where are the clowns?  Quick, send in the clowns. 
   Em7    G       A7     D 
Don't bother, they're here. 
G     A7      D     G   A7      D 
Isn't it rich?  Isn't it queer, 
A7    D       A7    D       D7M  D7        G 
Losing my timing this late in my career? 
     Em7    G        A7            Em7  G  A7    D 
But where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns 
 Em7       G     A7   D 
Well, maybe next year.
