Rodeo Clown

G                         
Well they paved the road to 
                              D7
Hollywood with promises and lies
And the men has been to once look 
                          G
good and girls with empty eyes
With rhinestone cowboys and wooden 
        G7             C
Indians everywhere you turn
     D7
Well I could write a book on the 
roads I took
                       G
And the lessons that I learned

[Chorus]
 C
I'd rather be a rodeo clown
Than a burnt out rhinestone cowboy 
                    G
in a two bit tinsel town
I'd rather help somebody up than put
          D7
 somebody down
                      G
I'd rather be a rodeo clown

[Verse 2]

It was nineteen sixty-six when I 
            D7
finally hit A
I was living on dreams and swizzle 
                                 G
sticks and kinda stumbling on my way
But the good Lord looks after fools 
                 G7                
and drunks and I finally found the 
C
sun
    D7                             
But I had only won the battle Lord 
                 G
the war had just begun

[Chorus]
                      C
I'd rather be a rodeo clown
Than a burnt out rhinestone cowboy 
                    G
in a two bit tinsel town
I'd rather pick somebody up than 
                       D7
kick 'em while they're down
                           G
Lord I'd rather be a rodeo clown

[Verse 3]
Well I like to see you when you 
                         D7
laugh but I love when we cry
I will tear your IOU's in half if 
                           G
you'll just look me in the eye
Cause truth and love and loyalty are
     G7                C
 the only things worth while
    D7                             
And I'd trade this whole damn town 
                         G
away for just one honest smile

[Chorus]
                      C
I'd rather be a rodeo clown
Than a burnt out rhinestone cowboy 
                    G
in a two bit tinsel town
I'd rather make somebody laugh than 
              D7
make somebody frown
                           G
Lord I'd rather be a rodeo clown

I'd rather help somebody up than put
          D7
 somebody down
                            G
What I'd give to be a rodeo clown
