Amaj7 B/A Cdim
Verse: Little man with his eyes on fire
C#m7 B7
And his smile so bright
Amaj7 B/A Cdim
In his hands are the toys you gave
C#m7 B7
That fill his heart with delight
Amaj7 B/A
In a ring stands a circus clown
Cdim C#m7 B7
Holding up a knife
Amaj7 B/A
What you see and what you hear
Cdim C#m7 B7
Will last you the rest of your life
Amaj7 B7
Chorus: It's sad, so sad
Cdim C#m7 B7
There aint no easy way 'round
Amaj7 G#7
It's sad, so sad
Bm7 Amaj7
All your friends gather round'
Dmaj7
Cause the circus left town [Riff]

Outro : Verse chords!
Enjoy it! I found the other versions really confusing,
so I decided to tab down the way I play it , including
the little riff. Have fun playing it but just before ,
listen to the song (Pilgrim album track 6) to get the
chords place right because I think it's a pretty hard one
to play , so enjoy it!
