Chords for Deer Tick - Clownin' Around - CARDINAL SESSIONS

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ No, that's okay. _
_ _ _ _ This song is called Clownin' [E] Around.
_ _ [Em] What's it about, Dennis?
It's [G] about birthday parties.
And what does everybody want to have at their birthday party?
Their favorite [E] clown.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ Though [G]
I've walked down a crooked path
_ [Em] That don't mean it wasn't cursed
My [G] feeble heart was filled with wrath
My [Em] poisoned mind with thoughts perverse
_ [D] And the devil is living in [C] my basement
I'm [D] trying hard to hide him from [C] my wife
[D] And I know someday I'm gonna [C] have to face him
But [D] for now I keep my secrets [C] with the night
_ _ [G]
Oooh, _ _ _ _ _ [D] oooh, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ oooh
[D] _
_ As _ _ _ [G] I breeze through this windy [D] city
The [E]
devil [Em] now rides upon my back
And [G] all the boys here look mighty pretty
I [Em] need a fix and Lord I need it fast.
I let [D] my house guests rest in [C] my crawlspace.
Don't [D] let anyone tell you that I'm a [C] bad host.
I [D] take cover behind my [C] white face paint.
Wall [D] out that [A] ulm of bitter [C] father's ghost.
_ [G] _
Ooooo, _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ Ooooo, _ Ooooo, [D] Ooooo.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] And by now the hounds have surely caught my scent.
In [Em] just a short time I'm no longer free.
_ [G] Oh Lord, you know I would repent, but [Em] now the devil, he speaks for me.
And [D] the icy needle kisses [C] my vein, _ [G] [D] as I kiss my dear sister [C] goodbye.
_ Now, [D] as I descend to the [C] final flame, _ [D] it's my _ [C] turn to die.
_ _ [G] _ _ Ooooooh, _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
Ooooooh, _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ Ooooooh.
