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

F                                
I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup, I'm
C
 gonna pick me some banjo up
Am                                
I'm gonna play with the Tragedies,
     Bb             C
 singing good time harmonies

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

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

(chorus)

F                     C
Sad Clown, Sad Clown, watch the 
wheels roll around
Am                       Bb      
Take that money into town, go buy
      C
 a drink
F                      C
Sad Clown, Sad Clown, always with 
the same frown
Am                            
Well circus train got you down, 
          Bb             C
