CLOWN
As recorded by Argent
(From the 1975 Album CIRCUS)
 
 
 
[Intro]
Dmaj7  A#maj7  Dmaj7  A#maj7
Dmaj7  A#maj7  Dmaj7  A#maj7
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7                      A#maj7
No minor love can make the darkness right
Dmaj7                A#maj7
Alone, deserted by a warm spotlight
Dmaj7                        A#maj7            A7   Dmaj7
I breathe the meaning of the words that I must need her
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7                 A#maj7
The colder seas of my sleeping mind
Dmaj7                      A#maj7
Make muddy dreams until no peace I find
Dmaj7                         A#maj7       A7          Dmaj7
Through Fields Elysian beg to see my life again, once again
 
 
[Chorus]
G                          Gm7  C7    Dmaj7                                 B7
And here I stand at last revealed a clown (revealed the clown) revealed the clown
            Em                                A                                Dmaj7
And who can doubt this painted fool who walks upon this circus stage is just a clown?
          A#maj7           Dmaj7
Is just a clown? Is just a clown
          A#maj7
Is just a clown?
 
 
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7                     A#maj7
No mind to colour now, no page to write
Dmaj7                           A#maj7
Cold pools of morning stain the virgin white
Dmaj7                   A#maj7           A7    Dmaj7
Another day without her love and I still need her
 
 
[Verse 4]
Dmaj7                        A#maj7
And so the stage is set, the time is right
Dmaj7                           A#maj7
And waves of laughter shake the gods tonight
Dmaj7                   A#maj7           A7     Dmaj7
Another day will make a fool delight the children
 
 
[Chorus]
G                        Gm7  C7        Dmaj7       B7
And so I stand at last revealed a clown, revealed a clown
            Em7                         A7                                  Dmaj7
And who can doubt the painted fool upon this circus stage has always been a clown?
          A#maj7
Is just a clown?
 
 
[Keyboard Solo]
Dmaj7  A#maj7  Dmaj7  A#maj7
Dmaj7  A#maj7  A7  Dmaj7
A#maj7  Dmaj7  A#maj7  Dmaj7
A#maj7  A7  Dmaj7
 
 
[Chorus]
G                        Gm7  C7    Dmaj7             B7
And so I stand at last revealed a clown, revealed the clown
            Em7                               A7
And who can doubt this painted fool who maybe has no mind at all
                D7                               G              Gm7
Would ever walk where he might fall and gain the laughter of us all
        Dmaj7             B7              Em7            A7            Dmaj7              A#maj7
Who can doubt the painted fool who always walk upon this stage is just a clown, is just a clown?
       Dmaj7            A#maj7
Just a clown, is just a clown?
           Dmaj7
Is just a clown?
