Ode To Sad Clown Tab par Joe Purdy

Either capo on 5th fret or for best play tune your :
uke to F#-B-A-D they should be tuned up from C#F#EA and not down.


F#                            C#
Darling I been down and out ever since you left town
D#m                             B            C#
Well I ain't been the same, no matter how I try
F#                                     C#
Sometimes we don't get to choose, the ones who wear the walking shoes
D#m                                       B               C#
I'm just a poor boy with the blues, no that ain't nothing new


Chorus:
F#                                C#
I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup, I'm gonna pick me some banjo up
D#m                                     B             C#
I'm gonna play with the Tragedies, singing good time harmonies
F#                                 C#
B. Wright don't you let me down, play that one called Sad F#lown,
D#m                                    B                 C#
You know that one's about me, I been thinking about leaving town


Interlude:
F# C# D#m B C#

F#                                 C#
Well sunshine she came out today, it don't matter anyways
D#m                                        B             C#
'Cause I still see the water, and it's dripping down my door
F#                                  C#
I used to hear the children play, I used to hear the birds sing
D#m                                     B            C#
One day they just stopped, and I don't hear them anymore

Repeat Chorus!

F# C# D#m B C#

F#                                           C#
Oh and I got caught in this whistling wind, doing my best to regret these sins
D#m                                 B               C#
Lord would you forgive me if you knew I'm gonna do it again?
F#                                             C#
And it's not that I'm not sorry, Lord, no it's just that I'm not strong
D#m                                      B            C#
'Cause when that woman looks at me I can't remember right from wrong
