#1.
F                 Am  Bb      Dm7   Cm F
There should be a holiday for clowns.
Bb                D              Gm7  C
There should be a big parade downtown.
   F                    C         Dm7
So girls like you could see..what fools 
               A         Dm7
you've made of guys like me.
  G
A day that clowns don't have to hide,
    Gm7                F      C
the feelings that they have inside.

#2.
    F                 Em7         Dm   Cm F
Oh, there should be a holiday for clowns.
  Bb                D               Gm7  C
A day for guys like me to paint the town.
F             C          Dm
Festive clown affair, to make believe that 
A        Dm
we don't care.
  Db             Bb          F
A special day, a holiday for clowns.

BRIDGE:
Bb                     Am               Eb
Time after time I have tried to say goodbye 
   F
to you.
    Bb             Gm7
But somehow when I try to leave you..I just 
      C     Abm7     Db
can't go..I love you so.

#3.
   Gb               Bb          Ebm     E   Gb
If there could be a holiday for clowns (holidays)
B       Eb                      Abm7         E   Db
I would lead the big parade downtown (parade downtown)
    Gb               Db        Ebm
And see you standing there and tell myself that 
Bb      Ebm
I don't care.
    Ab                                   Abm7
But we both know that that's not true..tomorrow 
             B      Db
I'll be back lovin' you.

There should be a big parade downtown (parade downtown)
   Gb              Db        Ebm
If I could have my way..just once a year, there'd 
Bb   Ebm    D              B           Gb          Ebm
be a day..a special day, a holiday for clowns (for clowns)
