Clownin' Around
guitar chords lyrics
Intro: G Em G Em
G
Though I've walked down a crooked path
Em
That don't mean that it wasn't cursed
G
My feeble heart was filled with wrath
Em
My poison mind with thoughts perverse
D C
And the devil is living in my basement
D C
I'm trying hard to hide him from my wife
D C
And I know someday I'm gonna have to face him
D C
But for now I keep my secrets with the night
G D C D
G
As I breeze through this windy city
Em
The devil he now rides upon my back
And all the boys here look mighty pretty
I need a fix and lord, I need it fast
D C
I let my houseguests rest in my crawlspace
Don't let anyone tell you that I'm a bad host
I take cover behind my white facepaint
While I battle my bitter father's ghost
G D C D

C /B D "
G
And by now the hounds have surely caught my scent
Em
In just a short time I'm no longer free
Oh lord you know I would repent
But the devil he now speaks for me
D C
And the icy needle kisses my veins
As I kiss my dear sister goodbye
Now as I descend into the final flames
It's my turn to die
G D C D
