Darling I been down and out ever since you left town
Am Bb C
Well I ain't been the same, no matter how I try
F C
Sometimes we don't get to choose, the ones who wear the walking shoes
Am Bb C
I'm just a poor boy with the blues, no that ain't nothing new
F C
I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup, I'm gonna pick me some banjo up
Am Bb C
I'm gonna play with the Tragedies, singing good time harmonies
F C
B. Wright don't you let me down, play that one called Sad Clown,
Am Bb C
You know that one's about me, I been thinking about leaving town
F C Am Bb C
F C
Well sunshine she came out today, it don't matter anyways
Am Bb C
'Cause I still see the water, and it's dripping down my door
F C
I used to hear the children play, I used to hear the birds sing
Am Bb C
One day they just stopped, and I don't hear them anymore
(chorus)
F C Am Bb C
(x2)
F C
Oh and I got caught in this whistling wind, doing my best to regret these sins
Am Bb C
Lord would you forgive me if you knew I'm gonna do it again?
F C
And it's not that I'm not sorry, Lord, no it's just that I'm not strong
Am Bb C
'Cause when that woman looks at me I can't remember right from wrong
(chorus)
F C
Sad Clown, Sad Clown, watch the wheels roll around
Am Bb C
Take that money into town, go buy a drink
F C
Sad Clown, Sad Clown, always with the same frown
Am Bb C
Well circus train got you down, you're thinking about leaving town
(x3, then end with F)
