GNow if there's a smile on my faceA, D A

it's only there tryin' to fool the public,

but when it comes down to foolin' you

Now honey, that's quite a different subject

But don't let my glad expression

give you the wrong impression

Really I'm sad I'm sadder than sad

You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad

Like a clown I pretend to be glad

ANow there's some sad things known to man, A7

 but ain't too much sadder than the tearGs of a clown E

Cwhen there's no one around

Now if I appear to be carefree,

it's only to camouflage my sadness

In order to keep my pride

I try to cover the hurt with a show of gladness

But don't let my show convince you

that I've been happy since you decided to go

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

Now there's some sad things known to man,

but ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown

when there's no one around

You can improvise a solo here.....I think it's played up towards the 12 and 15th frets.

Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my surface hid

Smiling in the crowd I try

But in a lonely room I cry

The tears of a clown When there's noone around,

oh yeah, baby baby 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

Cos really I'm sad
