Verse C The circus is back in town Dsus2 Here comes my favorite clown again C I love it when he strips his smile Dsus2 puts it in a tidy pile of shame C And then my ol' favorite clown Dsus2 Paints on his faithful frown and plays C That old familiar game Dsus2 Of which i have no name but "Death" C We go marching Am Through these scorching times F Our lungs are filled with dirt But no amount of hurt C Will stop us trying We go marching Am Through these parching times F Rain will come again And just like distant friends C We'll both be crying Interlude: C Am F C Verse: Oh that sweet awful sound Of my ol' favorite clown in need I help him once again To get back on his hands and knees Chorus Interlude Chorus
