Notes:
The quick change to C and G at the end on many lines is omitted
it occurs everywhere but 'if there ain't no wall / you got to move...'
the run through from C to Am via the B note is a familiar ny trick...
[Chords]
Am* 020010
[Intro]
G C G
[Verse 1]
G Don't call pretty Peggy, C G She can't hear you no more G Don't leave no message C G Round her back door C They say the old laughing lady G Been here before D C She don't keep time G She don't count score
[Interlude]
G C G
[Verse 2]
G You can't have a cupboard C G If there ain't no wall
You got to move
C There's no time for you to stall C Am* They say the old laughing lady C D G Dropped by to call D Am And when she leaves C G She leaves nothing at all
verse: (without the run through Am)
[Bridge]
G See the drunkard of the village C G Fallin' on his feet
He can't tell his ankle
C G From the rest of his feet C Am* He loves his old laughing lady C G Bm Because the taste is so sweet D But the laughin' lady's loving Am C G Ain't the kind he can keep
[Interlude]
D Am C G
[Outro]
G There's a fever on the freeway C G Blacks out the night
There's a slippin' on the stairway
C G Just don't feel right C There's a rumblin' in the bedroom C G And a flashin' of light D There's the old laughing lady C G Everything is all right D There's the old laughing lady C G Everything is all right
[Coda]
