THE CLOWN

Music and Words by Pethuel

Intro: (D)-(G)-(D)-(A)-(D) [Twice]

The (D)clown put on a (G)funny hat
(A)Striped socks and (D)baggy pants,
A (G)big red nose and (D)fuzzy wig,
A (Em)hat too (F#m)small and (G)shoes too (A)big.
And (Bm)last of all from his (F#m)costume case,
The (G)clown put (F#m)on a (Em)smi(A7)ling (D)face.

(D)-(G)-(D)-(A)-(D)

He (D)stepped into the (G)circus tent,
His (A)heart on just one (D)thought was bent,
To (G)make the crowd that (D)waited there
For(Em)get their (F#m)loneli(G)ness and (A)care,
And (Bm)take their frowns and (F#m)place a smile
On (G)every (F#m)man and (Em)woman (A7)and (D)child.
(G)-(D)

Chorus:
(G)Watch me and I'll (A)make you laugh,
You'll (D)chuckle at the (D7)way I act,
You'll (G)see me happy I'll (A)tell you why,
I'm (D)making happy the (F#dim)other guy.
In(G)stead of worrying a(A)bout myself
I (D)try to cheer up (F#dim)someone else.
When I (Em)give the joy that (A)God gives me
I (G)find that (D)happi(Em)ness (A7)finds (D)me!

(D)-(G)-(D)-(A)-(D)

He (D)jumped, he danced, he (G)spun around,
He (A)made his baggy (D)pants fall down,
Did (G)all he could to (D)make them laugh,
(Em)Even (F#m)if they (G)thought him (A)daft!
Till on (Bm)everyone in (F#m)every place
A (G)smile was (F#m)beaming on (Em)ever(A7)y (D)face!

(D)-(G)-(D)-(A)-(D)

One (D)little girl cried (G)out with glee,
"How (A)wonderful that it (D)must be
To (G)make the World a (D)better place
By (Em)making (F#m)glad the (G)saddened (A)face.
More than (Bm)all the things I'd (F#m)like to do
I (G)want to (F#m)be a (Em)clown (A7)like (D)you!"(G)-(D)

[Repeat chorus]

(D)-(G)-(D)-(A)-(D)

How (D)like the clown (G)Jesus came
(A)Help-ing others, not (D)seeking fame.
He (G)put on the clothes of hu(D)manity
In this (Em)circus (F#m)World of (G)vani(A)ty,
And (D)showed us by the (G)way He lived
That (A)we through Him could (D)learn to give,
And (Bm)like the clown go the (F#m)extra mile
(G)Helping (F#m)other (Em)peo(A7)ple (D)smile.(G)-(D)

[Repeat chorus]

(G)-(D)

When I (Em)give the joy that (A)God gives me
I (G)find that (D)happi(Em)ness (A7)finds (D)me!
(D)-(G)-(D)
