G    A7       D      G    A7    D 
Isn't it rich,  aren't we a pair 
A7  D       A7   D                  D7         G 
Me here at last on the ground, and you in mid-air 
Em7    G       D        Em7 G D 
Send in the clowns 
G    A7       D  
Isn't it bliss 
     G    A7      D 
Don't you approve 
A7  D         A7      D               D7            G 
One who keeps tearing around, 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         F#m7         Bm7 
Finally knowing the one 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       D7M       D7        G 
I thought that you'd want 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
