The Mother Lode

D                            E
Another clown jumps off the ladder
D                              E
A shallow pool but it doesn’t matter
D                              E
The way it goes, the way it goes
D                                 
He’s falling through barriers and 
   E
hedgerows
D                           E
A hollow man, hollow hand puppet
D                              E
Where’s the applause when you need 
it?

But these brought by somersaults 
    E
and backflips
Continues after the ad
D                             
On Hallowe'en some things'll be 
    E
different
D                           E
A mother lode, a mother lode
D                          E
A hollow man, hollow hand puppet
D                                 
I’m a clown, you don’t want her to
  E
 know me
D                    E
The knife behind the curtain
D             E
No truth is ordinary

You can’t see your way out of this 
one
D                            E
He makes a joke but nobody listens
D                      E
At least he does not know it
D                      E
The last of all his courage
D                        E
Press the button for a free ticket
D                           
Here he goes, hits the ground 
    E
running.
