Tears Of A Clown:Smokey Robinson And The Miracles.

#1 in UK and #1 in USA in 1967.

#1.

NC [Db] [Gb]

Now, if there's a smile up..on my face,

[B] [Gb] [Db] [Gb] [B]

It's only there trying to fool the public.

[Gb] [Db]

But when it comes down to fooling you,

[B] [Gb] [Db] [Gb] [B]

Now, honey that's quite a different subject.

#2.

[Gb] [Db] [Gb] [B]

Don't let my glad expression,

[Gb] [Db] [Gb] [B]

Give you the wrong impression.

[Gb] [Db] [Gb] [B] [Gb]

really I'm sad.......Oh, I'm sadder than sad.

[Db] [Gb] [B] [Gb] [Db]

You're gone and I'm hurting so bad,

[Gb] [B] [Gb] [Db] [Gb] [B]

Like a clown I appear to be glad..

CHORUS:

[Gb] [Ab] [F]

Now, they're some sad things known to man,

[Bbm]

but ain't too much sadder than,

[Gbmaj7] [Db] [Db] [Gb] [Db]

the tears of a clown, when there's no one around.

#3.

Now if I appear to be carefree,

It's only to camouflage my sadness.

And Honey to shield my pride I try,

to cover this hurt with a show of gladness.

But don't let my show convince you,

that I've been happy since you, decided to go.

I need you so, I'm hurt and I want you to know,

but for others I put on a show...

CHORUS:

[B] [Gb] [Db] [Gb] [B] [Db]

Now, if I appear just like Pagliacci did,

[Db] [Gb] [B] [Gb]

I try to keep my sadness hid.

[Db] [Gb] [B] [Gb]

Smiling in the public eye, but in my

[Db] [Gb] [B] [Gb] [Db]

lonely room I cry, the tears of a clown,

[Db] [Gb] [Db]

when there's no one around.

#4.

Now if there's a smile on my face,

don't let my glad expression,

give you the wrong impression.

Don't let this smile I wear,

make you think that I don't care...

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
