         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]
       Amaj                B/A
Verse: Little man with his heart so pure
       Cdim                C#m7 B7
       And his love so fine
       Amaj7                  B/A
       Stick with me and I'll ride with you
       Cdim                    C#m7 B7
       Till the end of the line
       Amaj7                 B/A
       Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
       Cdim                     C#m7 B7
       Through the darkest night
       Amaj7                B/A
       When I smile I'll be thinking of you
       Cdim                          C#m7
       And everything will be alright
        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

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!
