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
