Tom: D

G    A7       D     G   A7   D
Isn't it rich?  Aren't we a pair
A7 D     A7   D            D7
Me here at last on the ground
     G
And you in midair
Em7    G     D    Em7 G D
Send in the clowns
G    A7       D    G    A7    D
Isn't it bliss?  Don't you approve
A7 D     A7     D         D7
One who keeps tearing around
      G
And one who can't move
 Em7   G         D     Em7
But where are the clowns  
   G  A7 D Send in the clowns
Bridge:
 C#7     F#m7     Bm7    F#m7
Just when I stopped opening doors
 C#7     F#m7      Bm7
Finally knowing the one 
    F#m7       Bm7
That I wanted was yours
F#m     E7            F#m7     E7
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Bm7      F#m7      Em7       A7
Sure of my lines  no one is there
G    A7      D     G
Don't you love farce
 A7     D
My fault, I fear
A7   D      A7     D
I thought that you'd want 
D7M     D7      G
What I wantsorry my dear
   Em7   G       A7
But where are the clowns
  Em7   G  A7    D
Quick, send in the clowns
 Em7     G      A7    D
Don't bother, they're here
G     A7      D     G     A7  D
Isn't it rich?  Isn't it queer
A7   D     A7   D      D7M    D7     G
Losing my timing this late in my career
   Em7   G      A7
But where are the clowns
 Em7   G A7    D
There ought to be clowns
 Em7     G   A7   D
Well, maybe next year
