Goodbye Cruel World:James Darren  
# 3 in '61.(Somebody asked me about this one some time back.
I only had a chance to listen to it a few times, so, here goes.KK)
INTRO:
A   D         E
Goodbye cruel world(x2)
#1. 
E   A             F#m        Bm                 E
Oh, goodbye cruel world, I'm off to join the circus.
A     F#m  Bm             E
Gonna be a broken-hearted clown.
A                    D
Paint my face with a good-for-nothin' smile,
        A                   E
cause a mean, fickle woman, turned my whole world
       A      A   D         E
upside down. (Goodbye cruel world.)
#2.
A           F#m       Bm                 E
Farewell to love, I'm off to join the circus.
A     F#m     Bm             E
Gotta find, a way to hide my tears.
A                  D
Bet I'll have them rolling in the aisle,
         A                  E                     A
and I'll forget that woman, if it takes a hundred years.

CHORUS: 
A7          C#7                      F#m
Oh, oh, oh, step right up and take a look at a fool.
C#7                 F#m 
He's got a heart as stubborn as a mule.
  B7                  E
C'mon everybody, he's good for a laugh.
    F#                             B         B7
And no one could tell his heart is broken in half. 
#3.
B7        A         F#m     Bm              E
Well, the joke's on me, I'm off to join the circus.
E   A   F#m    Bm               E
Oh, Mr. Barnum, save a place for me.
A                 D
Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care.
A              D
Let the people point at me and stare.
D             A                 D
I'll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be,
     A            D             E                  A
that mean, fickle woman, made a cryin' clown outta me.
 A   D         E
(Goodbye cruel world.)

CHORUS:
REPEAT#3.
ADD:
A   D         E
Goodbye cruel world(x4)
