Intro: GCGG
Don't call pretty Peggy,
CG
She can't hear you no more
Don't leave no message
CG
Round her back door
C
They say the old laughing lady
G
Been here before
DC
She don't keep time
G
She don't count score
GCGG
You can't have a cupboard
CG
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
CDG
Dropped by to call
DAm
And when she leaves
CG
She leaves nothing at all
Verse: (without the run through Am)G
See the drunkard of the village
CG
Fallin' on his feet
He can't tell his ankle
CG
From the rest of his feet
C 020010 Am
He loves his old laughing lady
CGBm
Because the taste is so sweet
D
But the laughin' lady's loving
AmCG
Ain't the kind he can keep
DAmCGG
There's a fever on the freeway
CG
Blacks out the night
There's a slippin' on the stairway
CG
Just don't feel right
C
There's a rumblin' in the bedroom
CG
And a flashin' of light
D
There's the old laughing lady
CG
Everything is all right
D
There's the old laughing lady
CG
Everything is all right
