Send in the Clowns Chords by Elizabeth Taylor, Len Cariou

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ But when my eyes are [E] not open, _ _ _ [D] which is most of the time, _
_ [G#] all I can see is a young girl in a pink dress [F#] teasing a canary, _ _ _ _
[F#m] running through [G#m] a sunlit garden,
_ or waiting to hug me at the front door as if [G] I'd_
I'd come home from _ Timbuktu instead of the municipal courthouse.
Isn't it [D] rich? _ _ _
_ _ Are we up _ here?
_ _ Me here at last on the ground,
you [G] in _ _ _ _ _ _ midair.
_ [Em] Send in [D] the clown. _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] Isn't it [D]
bliss?
_ _ _ _ Don't you approve?
_ _ _ _ _ One who keeps tearing around,
one _ who [G] can't move. _ _
_ _ _ Where are the [D] _
clowns?
[A] _ _ _ _ [G] Send in [D] the clown. _ _ _
_ [F#m] Just when I'd stopped _ _ opening _ _ _ doors,
finally _ knowing the one that _
[A] _ [Bm] was you, _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ making [Bm] my _
[E] entrance again with my [Em] _ usual _
[Bm] _ flair. _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ Sure of [D] my [F#m] life, _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] no one [D] is _ [A] there. _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] Don't you [D] love us? _ _ _ _
My fault, I fear. _ _
_ [Bm] I thought [D] that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, _ [G] my dear.
But _ _ _ _ _ where are the [D] _ _ _ clowns?
_ _ _ Quick, send in the _ [A] _ clowns. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Don't bother, _
_ [D] _ they're _ _ here.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Esere, I'm sorry. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ To flirt with rescue [A] when one has no intention [Bm] of being saved.
[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Do try to forgive me. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Isn't it [D] rich?
_ _ _ _ _ _ Isn't it queer? _ _ _ _ _
Losing my timing this late in my _ _ [G] career.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G]
And where are the [D] _ _
clowns?
_ _ _ _ There ought to [A] be _ _ clowns. _
_ _ _ Well, _ _ maybe _ _ [D] _ next _ year. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
