Old Laughing Lady

Intro: G    C G

 G
 Don't call pretty Peggy,
 C                     G
 She can't hear you no more
 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

 G  C G

 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            020010 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)

 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            020010 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

 D Am C G

           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

 D Am C G

 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...
