Verse 1
F
When a neighborhood I
come from was kind of hum -drum
Am
Em
There was always music there
F
And also things to run from
Broken dreams and then some
Em
I do believe I've had my share
Bm
C
Every street could tell you a story
Bm
C
How it was and what it became
Bm
C
And it leaves an image before me
Bm
C
And an echo repeating my name
F
And I remember June Buck
was a tough guy
Don't take no stuff, guy
Em
He was always raising hell, yeah
G
F
But he wasn't such a rough guy
No, he's a nice enough guy
Em
If you ever get to know him well
Bm
C
Other scenes, I just can't remember
Bm
C
All the places fading from view
Bm
All the memories I've
C
turned into music
Bm
C
Now I'm bringing it all back to you
F
And it goes la la la la la la
G
Bm
Em
Am
F
G
Em
Am
La la la la la la la la
F
And then when I got to high school,
I played the shy fool,
Em
workin' out a master plan
G
F
And that's where I broke my first rule,
C
F
I blew my first and last cool
Em
And that's where it all began
Bm
C
Pictures pass, leavin' faint traces
Bm
C
Mirrors flash, a portrait that shows
Bm
C
A few tear -stained, ebony faces
Bm
C
And a song from long, ago
F
G
But Jerry and I were such a soulful clown
Em
Am
Until they didn't see my game go down
F
G
Yeah, and I was such a soulful clown
Em
Until they didn't see my
Am
game go down
F
Now how the time has flown
And finally I'm a grown man,
Em
like they say, you live and learn
G
F
I'm finally on my own,
standing all alone
Em
I'm past the point of no return
Now here's a prayer
Bm
C
for your friends and relations
Bm
C
And a tune you might recognize
Bm
C
Lord, I have just one consolation
Bm
When I'm wearing my
C
favorite disguise
Them children,
F
G
I'd be such a soulful clown
Em
Till they don't ever see
Am
my game go down
F
G
Yeah, I was such a soulful clown
Em
Till they don't ever see
Am
my game go down
F
Well, now I was such a soulful clown
G
Am
Em
Am
Until they never see my game go down
Bm
F
I have such a soulful plan
G
Bm
Em
Yeah, they don't ever see
G
Am
my game go down
Em
F
Oh, such a soulful plan
G
Em
Until they don't ever,
Am
F
never see my game go down
C
G
Oh, oh, oh,
Em
They don't ever see my game go down
Am
C
F
G
Won't you and I be such a soulful clown
Em
G
Am
You may never see my game go down
Em
Am
F
G
Yeah, I'm such a soulful clown
Em
You may never see
Am
my game go down
F
C
G
Yeah, I'm such a soulful clown, baby
Em
G
Am
You may never see my game go down

Yeah, I'm such a soulful clown
G
Em

Never, see my game go down
F
Am
G
Em
G
Am
