[A]
DM7-------------------------------
That reminds me of the time I felt
-----AM7---------------------------
It's time for sin and catholic guilt
DM7-----------------------
Two years later to the day
-----AM7---------------
I had reason to confess
DM7--------------------------
With her hair a shining shade
-----AM7-----------------
Of bus-conductress blonde
DM7------------------------
Tales of music and movement
-----AM7-------------------
Were told in grip and groan


[B](01:06)
E-------------F#m7-------
But to put these thoughts
--------------------DM7
In songs like theirs
E-------------F#m7--
Of the honest truth
--------------DM7------
There'd be no trace
---------------Bm--AM7
Just lying out loud


(01:25)
D----A-----D----A-------


[A2]
----------DM7--------------------
Meanwhile back here in wonderland
AM7-------------------------------
A sorry sight with flowers in hand
DM7--------------------------------
Pours his heart out till his thirst
AM7---------------------------
For college girls is satisfied

DM7--------------------
Standing there with ego
(Bm7)--AM7---------
Proudly on tip-toe
DM7----------------------
All the time I'm thinking
AM7-------------------
Well, well, here we go

[B2](01:57)
E----------F#m7--------------DM7----
Another perfect song of grief
E----------F#m7--------------DM7----
Brings the house down to its knees
-------------A----
By dying out loud


[CHORUS](02:16)
E---------------D-----
One more awful dancer
E---------------D----------------/E---
Steptoe's son a song and dance of love
-------D-------------------
When I think of soap operas
E--------D--------------------
And what makes them so popular
E------------D------------------E--------
The answer's posing in front of my eyes

[--]
DM7----AM7-----DM7------AM7-------

Bm7---------------------AM7----------
Here comes our hero in hand-me-downs
Bm7------------------------
Strutting to the strain of
AM7-----------------
'Send in the Clowns'
DM7--------------------
Troops his true colours
-----AM7------------
When no-one's around
--------D-------------
And his desk-top tales
--------A--------------
Are the best around but

E-----F#m7------------DM7----
Putting pain to paper reads
E-----F#m7---------------DM7-----
Like a lunge at fame and greed
----------------AM7-
Just crying out loud

[ending]
DM7----C#m7----Bm7-----C#m7
DM7----C#m7----Bm7-----DM7--------
