Tab and arrangement by David Immanuel 




Tuning: Open G (DGDGBE)

Time signature: 4/4
	


	This is the infamous background piece for circus acts, as seen on those
crappy B-horror evil clown films, or any real circus for that matter. Despite the title, 
it has been more closely associated with clowns than gladiators. I transcribed the whole
marching piece from its original orchestral version by ear, based on personal preferences
in sound and playability, so feel free to alter the transcription to your liking. Strength
and flexibility of the left-hand fingers are needed much. It's a tough one to play, but it's
well worth to show off to your metalhead shredder buddies and chick friends alike. ;)


 





Play at a moderate to fast pace. Enjoy :)!!
