DWIGHT YOAKAM -- POCKET OF A CLOWN
NO INTRO
VERSE 1
NC A ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah
Inside the pocket of a clown
E ooh-ah...
Is a sad place to hang around.
ooh-ah...
Just watching smiles turn into frowns;
A ooh-ah...
Inside the pocket of a clown.
VERSE2
NC A ooh-ah...
Inside the heartache of a fool
E ooh-ah...
You'll learn things they don't teach in school;
ooh-ah...
And lessons there can be real cruel;
A ooh-ah...
Inside the heartache of a fool.
BRIDGE
D A
Hollow lies, make a thin disguise
F#m E
As little drops of truth fall from your eyes.
INSTRUMENTAL - same chord progression as verse

VERSE 3
NC A ooh-ah...
Inside a memory from the past
E ooh-ah...
Lives every love that didn't last.
ooh-ah...
Sweet dreams can start to fade real fast
A ooh-ah...
Inside a memory from the past.
TAG
E
It's a real sad place to hang around;
ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah
A ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooooooh
Inside the pocket of a clown.
