G       Em          Bm
Sweet Sunday afternoon
   C                 
September's golden brown
G        Em             
Summer always fades too soon
Bm            C            G
Like the laughter of a clown
 Em                    Bm
And shadows fill the room
       C
Where sorrows come to drown
G        Em               Bm
Your heart's a lead balloon
        C
As you sink another one down

[Pré-Refrão]

Am          D
I know it numbs the way you feel
Am              D
Blurs what is right and what is real
Am              Em                     D
And there's no love left you could steal

          C             G   
For the joker laughs alone
         Em        A7
As the jester's outsmarted
          C               Em                  D
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
         C                G
And the sad man sings a song
         Em                 A7
For the drunk and broken hearted
          C                 D
And the fool, he never knows how much it costs

[Segunda Parte]

G           Em             Bm    C
  Sweet Sunday afternoon and all that can be heard
G       Em                Bm             C
  Is an old, familiar tune for you’ve forgotten half the words
G     Em                     Bm       C
  And sunlight floods the room like a silent flock of birds
G     Em              Bm      C
  And hope's a red balloon, disappearing through the clouds
 
[Pré-Refrão]

Am          D
  I know it numbs the way you feel
Am              D
  Blurs what is right and what is real
Am           Em                     D
  There's no one here to make a deal with
 
[Refrão]

        C                 G
For the joker, laughs alone
       Em         A7
As the jester's outsmarted 
         C                Em                 D
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
        C                G
And the sad man sings a song
        Em                  A7
For the drunk and broken-hearted
        C                   D
And the fool, he never knows how much it cost

[Refrão]

                C                   G
Yeah, well, the joker, he laughs alone 
       Em         A7
As the jester's outsmarted
                         Em                 D
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
            C                     G
Oh, and the sad man, he, sings a song
        Em                  A7
For the drunk and broken-hearted
             C                  D
Oh, and the fool, he never knows how much it cost
           C                  D             G
Well, the fool, he never knows how much it cost
