 Amaj7B/ACdim
Verse:   Little man with his eyes on fire   

 C#m7B7
         And his smile so bright        

 Amaj7B/ACdim
         In his hands are the toys you gave    

 C#m7B7
         That fill his heart with delight      

 Amaj7B/A
         In a ring stands a circus clown

 CdimC#m7B7
         Holding up a knife        

 Amaj7B/A
         What you see and what you hear

 CdimC#m7B7
         Will last you the rest of your life       

 Amaj7B7
Chorus: It's sad, so sad

 CdimC#m7B7
        There aint no easy way 'round      

 Amaj7G#7
        It's sad, so sad

 Bm7Amaj7
        All your friends gather round'

 Dmaj7
        Cause the circus left town         (Riff)

 AmajB/A
Verse: Little man with his heart so pure

 CdimC#m7B7
       And his love so fine      

 Amaj7B/A
       Stick with me and I'll ride with you

 CdimC#m7B7
       Till the end of the line      

 Amaj7B/A
       Hold my hand and I'll walk with you

 CdimC#m7B7
       Through the darkest night      

 Amaj7B/A
       When I smile I'll be thinking of you

 CdimC#m7
       And everything will be alright 

 Amaj7B7
Chorus: It's sad, so sad

 CdimC#m7B7
        There aint no easy way 'round      

 Amaj7G#7
        It's sad, so sad

 Bm7Amaj7
        All your friends gather round'

 Dmaj7
        Cause the circus left town           (Riff)

 Amaj7B7
Chorus: It's sad, so sad

 CdimC#m7B7
        There aint no easy way 'round      

 Amaj7G#7
        It's sad, so sad

 Bm7Amaj7
        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!
