Chords

[Intro] C7 [Verse 1]
       C7
If you find yourself in lock-up, write a song about a jail

           C7
And if you set your boat on fire in the middle of a gale

       F7                            Bb7                 F7
If you lose your only lover, go find something sweet and soft

    C7
And laugh it off, ha ha ha ha, laugh it off
[Verse 2]
     C7
If a joke about the police don't go over with a bang

       C7
If you tell 'em you're a singer, they don't like the way you sing

     F7                           Bb7                F7
Then get yourself an attorney, go out, and play some golf

             C7
And laugh it off, ha ha ha, laugh it off
[Chorus]
     F7                             C7
Hey, don't get mad when you lose at 21

     F7                      G7
Just roll the dice and go on having fun

N.C.         C7
And get some Humboldt marijuana

      F7               G7
Guaranteed to make you cough

    C7
And laugh it off, ha ha, laugh it off, son
[Instrumental] C7 F7 Bb7 F7 C7 [Verse 3]
       C7
If you get yourself a ticket, second one in thirty days

        C7
And the courthouse can't find records for the ones already paid

       F7                           Bb7         F7
If you should get pneumonia with an everlasting cough

         C7
Laugh it off, ha ha
[Chorus]
     F7                             C7
Hey, don't get mad when you lose at 21

     F7                      G7
Just roll the dice and go on having fun

N.C.         C7
And get some Humboldt marijuana

      F7               G7
Guaranteed to make you cough

             C7
And laugh it off, ha ha, laugh it off, ha ha ha
[Instrumental] C7 F7 Bb7 F7

  (Ha ha ha ha ha)

C7
  (Well...)
[Chorus]
F7                             C7
Don't get mad when you lose at 21

     F7                    G7
Just roll the dice and go on having fun

N.C.        C7
And get yourself a good attorney

         F7                G7
Take him out and play some golf

             C7
And laugh it off, ha ha, laugh it off
