tricky, ain't it. Enjoy. Capo 1st. [Verse 1]
Am Em No one laughs at God in a hospital
D No one laughs at God in a war
G
Em No one’s laughing at God
Bm When they’re starving or freezing
C/G or so very poor
Am Em No one laughs at God when the doctor calls
D G After some routine tests
Em No one’s laughing at God
Bm when it’s gotten real late
C/G And their kid’s not back from that party yet
Am Em No one laughs at God when their airplane
D G Starts to uncontrollably shake
Em No one’s laughing at God
Bm When they see the one they love
C/G hand in hand with someone else and they hope that they’re mistaken
Am Em No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door
D G And they say “We’ve got some bad news, sir,”
Em No one’s laughing at God
Bm C/G When there’s a famine, fire or flood [Chorus]

Am Em But God can be funny
D At a cocktail party when listening
G to a good God-themed joke, or
Em Or when the crazies say He hates us
C/G And they get so red in the head you
D think they’re ‘bout to choke
Am Em God can be funny,
D When told he’ll give you money if
G you just pray the right way
Em And when presented like a genie who
C/G does magic like Houdini
D Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
D God can be so hilarious
Am Em D G Ha ha
Am Em D G Ha ha [Verse 5]
Am Em No one laughs at God in a hospital
D G No one laughs at God in a war
Em No one’s laughing at God
Bm when they’ve lost all they got
C/G And they don’t know what for [Bridge]
Am Em No one laughs at God on the day they realize
D that the last sight they’ll ever
G see is a pair of hateful eyes
Em No one’s laughing at God
C/G When they’re saying their goodbyes [Chorus]
Am Em But God can be fuuuuuunny
D At a cocktail party when listening
G to a good God-themed joke, or
Em Or when the crazies say He hates us
C/G And they get so red in the head you
D think they’re ‘bout to choke
Am Em God can be fuuuuuunny,
D When told he’ll give you money if
G you just pray the right way
Em And when presented like a genie who
C/G does magic like Houdini
D Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
D God can be so hilarious [Bridge]
Am Em No one laughs at God in a hospital
D G No one laughs at God in a war
Am Em No one’s laughing at God in a hospital
D G No one’s laughing at God in a war
Em No one’s laughing at God
Bm When they’re starving or freezing
C/G or so very poor (carry on C/G chord) [Other] No one’s laughing at God No one's laughing at God No one's laughing at God
G We’re all laughing with God
