The Tears Of A Clown Chords by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

[C#] _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#]
Oh [C#] yeah, yeah, [F#] yeah
_ [B] _ _ [F#]
Now if [C#] there's a [F#] smile on [B] my [F#] face
It's [C#] only there [F#] trying to [B] fool a target
[F#]
But [C#] when it comes [F#] down to [B] fooling you
[F#]
Now [C#] honey, that's [F#] quite a [B] different [F#] subject
And [C#] no, that's not [F#] my [B] grand [F#] expression
[C#] Give you [F#] the wrong [B] impression
[F#]
Really, [C#] I'm sad
[F#] I'm sad, [B] _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] sad
[F#] _ _ [B] Gone and [F#] I'm hurting [C#] so bad
[F#] Like [B] a clown I [F#] pretend to [C#] be glad
[F#] _ _ [B] Now [F#] _
[G#] there's some sad things known [F] to man
But [A#m] ain't you a sad [F#] fan _
Tears [C#] of a [G#] clown
_ When [C#] there's no one [G#] around
_ _ [C#] _ _
_ Oh [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _
[C#] yeah, [F#] baby
_ [B] _ [F#] Now if I [C#] appear [F#] here to be [B] carefree
[F#] It's only [C#] to [F#] camouflage my [B] _ [F#] fear
In order [C#] to shield my [F#] _ [B] own tribe
[F#]
Recover [C#] this hurt [F#] with a show [B] of [F#] gladness
But [C#] don't let [F#] my show [B] convince [F#] you
[C#] That I've [F#] been happy [B] since you [F#]
decided [C#] to go
_ [F#] _ [B] What [F#] I need [C#] is love
_ [F#] I'm [B] hurting, [F#] I'm [C#] sorry
[F#] But [B] for others [F#] I'm [C#] good on the show
[F#] _ _ [B] But for [F#] _
_ [G#] others I'm good on the show
Sad things known [F] to man
But [A#m] ain't you a sad [F#] fan
Tears [G#] of a clown
_ When there's no one around
_ Oh yeah, [C#] _
yeah
_ [F#] _ [B] All you [F#] ought to do
[C#] _ [F#] Is keep [B] my [F#] sadness in
[C#] _ [F#] Smiling in the [B] dark at night
[F#] _
[C#] But in my [F#] lonely room [B] I cry
[F#]
Tears [C#] of a clown
_ _ When there's no one [F#] around
_ [B] Oh _
[F#] [C#] yeah, [F#] baby
_ [B] Now [F#] if [C#] that smile [F#] of [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ [B] mine
Stretches [F#] [C#] your [F#] beautiful _ [B] _ impression
[F#] [C#] Don't let [F#] this [B] smile of mine _
[F#] [C#] Make you face [F#] that I [B] don't [F#] care
_ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _
