 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                         
 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...
