 Old Laughing Lady : Unplugged

 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...
