Chords for Gary Lewis & The Playboys - Everybody Loves A Clown (Live)

Thank [C] you very much.
Thank you folks, appreciate it.
[Bm] Alright, this next tune we're going to do [Em] for you is also out of 1965,
and it also went into the [D] top ten for us, but when I [Em] started writing this [G] song,
I had no intention of recording it as a single or releasing it to the public in any way.
I just wanted [Em] to record [N] a little novelty tune,
a happy [G] birthday kind of number for my dad in 1965.
So I [Cm] started to write the tune, and [N] as it evolves,
I'm thinking, geez, this sounds like hit material, you know?
[G] And I really liked the song when I got done with it,
so I ended up keeping [N] the song and releasing it to the public,
and I gave my dad a real nice card.
[Ab] _ [F] He _ [E] _ was thrilled.
