I was a clown when I thought I had found 
  F               G               C              G
A love for me and only me but she laughed at the clown
           F               G 
turned him down turned him down
 
         C            Em
I never frown ah, ah, ah, I'm the clown 
       F               G                    C            G
for it breaks my heart I play the part of a clown runnin round
        F              G
trouble bound I'm the clown 

G                    C                     Em
I wander all around, wondering if you ever cared 
  D       C        D                   C       D 
I go from place to place,  I look from face to face 
                        G     G7
hoping that you will be there 

All over town the word is out, it's all around 
that I love her still guess I always will I'm the clown 
runnin round trouble bound I'm the clown
