- Опубликовано: 17 апр 2011
- I'm playing this classic Stephen Sondheim song from the 1973 musical A Little Night Music on a Suzuki Promaster 350 Diatonic Harmonica in C. The Tab is as follows:-
Send in the Clowns - Stephen Sondheim
Tab by Grey Owl
Diatonic Harmonica key = C
-5 = Draw 5
+4 = Blow 4
-3* = small half step draw bend on 3
Song Start
Isn't it rich? Are we a pair?
-3*+4-5-5, -3*+4-5-5,
Me here at last on the ground
+6-6-5+6-6-6-6
You in mid-air
-6+7+4-4
Send in the clowns
-4-5-3*+4
Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
-3*+4-5-5, (-5+6+5-5) -3*+4-5-5, (-5+6+5-5)
One who keeps tearing around,
+6-6-5+6-6-6-6
One who can't move.
-6+7+4-4
Where are the clowns?
-4-5-3*+4
Send in the clowns.
-4-5+5-5
Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
+5-6+6-6 +5-6+6-6
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
+5-7+6-6-7-7-7+7+7+7-7+6-6
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
+5-6+5-5+6+6+6-6-6-6+6-4+5
Sure of my lines,
-4*-5-4*+5
No one is there.
-4-5-3*+4
Don't you love farce? My fault I fear.
-3*+4-5-5, (-5+6+5-5) -3*+4-5-5, (-5+6+5-5)
I thought that you'd want what I want
+6-6-5+6-6-6-6+7
Sorry, my dear.
-6+7+4-4
But where are the clowns?
-4-4-5-3*+4
Quick, send in the clowns.
+4-4-5-3*+4
Don't bother, they're here
+4-4-5+5-5
Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer,
-3*+4-5-5, (-5+6+5-5) -3*+4-5-5, (-5+6+5-5)
Losing my timing this late
+6-6-5+6-6-6-6
In my career?
-6+7+4-4
And where are the clowns?
-4-4-5-3*+4
There ought to be clowns.
+4-4-5-3*+4
Well, maybe next year.

Nice going Grey Owl... Thanks for posting... Usually only hear it on chromatic.
This is my favorite rendition. Thank you very much for including the tabs. You rock!
I've tried several tab and key versions of this song and this is the best one for me, thanks for that!
Thanks so much, I'm pleased it helped!
Beautiful.
Thanks a lot.
Steph.
