[Verse 1]
G
Guy goes in to see a Doc, says
C
There's something wrong with me I got
Bm
a sadness I can't shake now.
Am
Is there something I can take now
G
Doctor has a think and says he
C
might know just the thing
Bm
There's a performer here in town
Am
and he's the world's greatest clown
[Chorus]
C D
Laughter as we all know
G Em
is the best medicine
Am D
Guy says Doc, that's the problem
Em G C D
What if I was to tell you I'm Pagliacci
Em G C D
This great big smile is just for show
Em G
What if I was to tell you
C
this is just grease paint
Am D
Would you say I'm a hopeless case
Em
Say it ain't so
Am
Would you say I'm a sad clown
D G
Tell me something I don't know
