Ode To Sad Clown

C                            G
Darling I been down and out ever 
since you left town
Am                           
Well I ain't been the same, no 
  F            G
matter how I try
C                                 
Sometimes we don't get to choose, 
    G
the ones who wear the walking shoes
Am                                
I'm just a poor boy with the 
       F               G
blues, no that ain't nothing new


Chorus:
C                                
I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup, I'm
G
 gonna pick me some banjo up
Am                                
I'm gonna play with the Tragedies,
     F             G
 singing good time harmonies
C                              
B. Wright don't you let me down, 
   G
play that one called Sad Clown,
Continúa después del anuncio
Am                                
You know that one's about me, I 
    F                 G
been thinking about leaving town


Interlude:
C G Am F G

C                                 
Well sunshine she came out today, it
G
 don't matter anyways
Am                                
'Cause I still see the water, and 
        F             G
it's dripping down my door
C                                  
I used to hear the children play, I 
G
used to hear the birds sing
Am                             
One day they just stopped, and I 
        F            G
don't hear them anymore

Repeat Chorus!

C G Am F G

C                         
Oh and I got caught in this 
                  G
whistling wind, doing my best to 
regret these sins
Am                             
Lord would you forgive me if you 
    F               G
knew I'm gonna do it again?
C                              
And it's not that I'm not sorry, 
               G
Lord, no it's just that I'm not 
strong
Am                                
'Cause when that woman looks at me
      F            G
 I can't remember right from wrong
