Chords
From "Dart to the Heart"(1994)
Bruce and Colin Linden (on slide, of course) both play in the version of open A tuning
Like Open E, this tuning can put strain on your guitar neck and strings,
so regular Open G plus capo 2 is probably safer, but I'll leave the chord
shapes noted in A.
A: 000000 and 005430
D: 555555 and x02012
E: 777777 and xx0230
G: xx3213 and xx101010x

[Intro]
A x4 E G D A x2
[Verse]
E G D A It's not the laughter of rain in the drain, E G D A It's not the laughter of a man in pain, E G D A It's not the laughter you can hide behind, E G D A It's not the laughter of a frightened mind. G D Balanced on the brink, only waiting for a shove, A E A you better listen for the laugh of love. G D Balanced on the brink only waiting for a shove, A E A you better listen for the laugh of love.
E G D A x4
[Verse]
E G D A It's not the laughter of the gloating rich, E G D A It's not the laughter of the sacred bitch, E G D A It's not the laughter of the macho fool, E G D A It's not the laughter that obeys the rules. G D More of a chainsaw in a velvet glove... A E A You better listen for the laugh of love. G D More of a chainsaw in a velvet glove... A E A You better listen for the laugh of love.
[Solo]
E G D A x4
[verse]
E G D A It's not the laughter of a child with toys, E G D A It's not the laughter of The President's boys, E G D A It's not the laughter of the media king, E G D A This laughter doesn't sell you anything. G D It's the wind in the wings of a diving dove, A E A You better listen for the laugh of love... G D It's the wind in the wings of a diving dove, A E A You better listen for the laugh of love.
[Coda]
G D Whatever else you might be thinking of... A E A You better listen for the laugh of love.
