Death of a Clown  

C   G   F   C   G  G7  

   C                    G            G7  
My makeup is dry and it cracks on my chin  
    F                      C           G  
I'm drowning my sorrows in whiskey and gin  
    C                         G        G7  
The lion tamer's whip doesn't crack anymore  
    F                            C            G  
The lions they won't bite and the tigers won't roar  
F        Am        Bb        G  
La la la La la la  La la la La  
    Dm                      C          G  
So  let's all drink to the  death of a clown  
C                        G            G7  
Won't someone help me to break up this crown  
F                      C          G  
Let's all drink to the death of a clown

Let's all drink to the death of a clown  
    C                        G           G7 
The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor  
F                      C     G 
Nobody needs fortunes told anymore  
     C                      G              G7 
The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees  
     F                        C      G 
And frantically looking for runaway fleas  
  F    Am      Bb     G 
La la la la la la la la la la  
 Dm                     C          G
