Actually Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. According to his autobiography,
he had been trying to leave the group for years - and then Motown reissued
this three-year-old LP track, it became a worldwide hit, and his plan for
a solo career was deferred for another two years.
So did somebody want the chords or something?
C F Bb
If there's a smile on my face
F C F Bb F
It's only there tryin' to fool the public
But when it comes down to foolin' you
Now honey, that's quite a different subject
Don't let my glad expression give you the wrong impression
C F Bb C
Baby I'm sad (sad, sad, sad, sad)
So much sadder than sad (sad, sad, sad, sad)
Like a clown I appear to be glad (sad, sad, sad, sad)
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad (sad, sad, sad, sad)
G E7/G#
Now there's some sad things known to man
Am Fmaj7
But ain't too much sadder than
C
The tears of a clown
When there's noone around

THE TEARS OF A CLOWN- Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
D C G C
Now if there's a smile on my face
D C G
It's only there trying to fool the public
C D C G
But when it comes down to fooling you
C D C G C (etc...)
Now honey that's quite a different subject
But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Cos really I'm sad, Oh I'm sadder than sad
Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad
Like a clown I appear to be glad ooh yeah
CHORUS:

Well they're some sad things known to man
Bm G
But ain't too much sadder than
D C G C D C G
The tears of a clown when there's noone around
C D C G C D C G C
Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby
Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
And honey to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
Cos I need to go, oh I need you so
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know
For others I put on a show ...CHORUS
Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the crowd I try
But in a lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's noone around, oh yeah, baby baby
Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
Cos really I'm sad...
