G

    C                      G          G7
My makeup is dry and it cracks on my chin
     F                      C          G
I'm drowning my sorrows in whiskey and gin
     C                         G       G7
The lion tamer's whip doesn't crack anymore
      F                            C           G
The lions they won't bite and the tigers won't roar

[Chorus]
     Dm                        C          G
So let's go and drink to the death of a clown
  C                       G             G7
Won't someone help me to break up this crown
 F                        C         G
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
 F       Dm       Bb      Eb
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
 Dm                        C         G
Let's all drink to the death of a clown

     C                        G           G7
The old fortune-teller lies dead on the floor
 F                      C      G
Nobody needs fortunes told anymore
 C                           G              G7
The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees
      F                      C        G
And frantically looking for runaway fleas
