Clownin Around

[G]    [Em]    [G]    [Em]

Though I've [G]walked down a crooked path
That don't [Em]mean that it wasn't cursed
My feeble [G]heart was filled with wrath
My poison [Em]mind with thoughts perverse
And the [D]devil is living in my [C]basement
I'm trying [D]hard to hide him from my [C]wife
And I [D]know someday I'm gonna have to [C]face him
But for [D]now I keep my secrets with the [C]night
[G]     [D]     [C]     [D]

As I [G]breeze through this windy city
The [Em]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
I let my [D]houseguests rest in my [C]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

[C]    [B]    [A]
[C]   /[B]    [D]    "

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