1. Ain’t it just like bathing in honey
              |Em                       |Em
when the sun comes shining down?
|G                            |G
And you’re deep in some conversation
         |D                              |G
with a stranger from out of town?
              |Hm                 C            |D
And you feel that you’re on to his wavelength.
               |Hm            C             |D
And your love comes tumbling down.
              |Em                                |Hm
You’ll be deep in the arms of the stranger.
            |C                            |C
He’s the son of Cathy’s clown.

Refr. And he’ll never want to be your friend if he can be your lover.
                          |G       D        |C                    |G    G  G C   |tacet
You know you’ll never love again if he shall love another. 

 

2. And then you’ll take him where the music is playing
in your bright blue Mexican gown.
Soon the stranger has got you entangled
and the music goes round and round.
And weird kind of fire is burning.
It’s gonna burn your heart right down.
It’s the torch you’ve always been carrying
for the son of Cathy’s clown.
