Topic: THE SAD CLOWN

I can't help it, it is a really melancholic chord sequence, and even using the same chords in my refrain you have to sing it different, louder, higher in tone and passion.
I just try to be me, and an exercise to improve my English. I have the impression that there is an improvement, so please if you see an incorrect phrase, let me know. I'm nothing but a "gringo"

THE SAD CLOWN

the sad clownby gitaardocphil


[Am] [Dm] [E] [Am]




[Am]what[Dm] happened to me[Gm] I felt so good[A7]not aware of something really[Dm] bad


[Dm]I had everything in me[Gm]was always a happy clown[A7] and always more than [Dm] glad


[Dm]a new day for me an[Gm]other symphonie of joy[A7]played by 1000 different[Dm]instruments


[Dm]I never failed to love, taking[Gm]care about my belo[A7]ved ones and no one[Dm]had comments




[Dm]until that sunny day some years[Gm] ago where a tree [A7]crossed the road I was[Dm]driving on



[Dm]the tree was sentenced for a year[Gm]of three, and me I[A7]lost a lot and wasn’t [Dm]longer free


[Dm]my face turned white, my lips flam[Gm]ing red, just like[A7]batmans enemy the[Dm]the joker.


[Dm]it changed my life, I even lost my[Gm]my wife, my pride[A7]my joy my job my[Dm]selfesteem


[Dm]the red nosed clown in me turned[Gm]into the white faced[A7]clown with tattooed [Dm]tears


[Dm]all things I tried a failure took the[Gm]lead the tango of [A7]dead was playing many[Dm]years


[Dm]sadness conquered joy day after day[Gm]a happiness changed[A7]a melancholic night[Dm]mare


[Dm] I know this song is sad and dead has[Gm]names, so don’t [A7]follow me, stay who[Dm]you are

Like this line... of course you might want to know that in American prison a tatooed teardrop means you killed somebody.
Anyway, good stuff some real solid lines here,
