[Verse 1]
G D7
Well they paved the road to Hollywood with promises and lies
G
And the men has been to once look good and girls with empty eyes
G7 C
With rhinestone cowboys and wooden Indians everywhere you turn
D7
Well I could write a book on the roads I took
G
And the lessons that I learned
[Chorus]
C
I'd rather be a rodeo clown
G
Than a burnt out rhinestone cowboy in a two bit tinsel town
D7
I'd rather help somebody up than put somebody down
G
I'd rather be a rodeo clown
[Verse 2]
D7
It was nineteen sixty-six when I finally hit LA
G
I was living on dreams and swizzle sticks and kinda stumbling on my way
G7 C
But the good Lord looks after fools and drunks and I finally found the sun
D7 G
But I had only won the battle Lord the war had just begun
[Chorus]
C
I'd rather be a rodeo clown
G
Than a burnt out rhinestone cowboy in a two bit tinsel town
D7
I'd rather pick somebody up than kick 'em while they're down
G
Lord I'd rather be a rodeo clown
[Verse 3]
D7
Well I like to see you when you laugh but I love when we cry
G
I will tear your IOU's in half if you'll just look me in the eye
G7 C
Cause truth and love and loyalty are the only things worth while
D7 G
And I'd trade this whole damn town away for just one honest smile
[Chorus]
C
I'd rather be a rodeo clown
G
Than a burnt out rhinestone cowboy in a two bit tinsel town
D7
I'd rather make somebody laugh than make somebody frown
G
Lord I'd rather be a rodeo clown
D7
I'd rather help somebody up than put somebody down
G
What I'd give to be a rodeo clown
