Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more.
D D2 D4 D5
Don't leave no message 'round her back door.
G D D2
They say the old laughin' lady been here before.
D4 D3 G
She don't keep time, she don't count score.
D D2 D4 D2
You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall.
D D2 D4 D5
You got to move, there's no time left to stall.
G D D2
They say the old laughin' lady dropped by to call.
D4 D3 G RIFF
When she leaves, she leaves nothing at all.
D D2 D4 D2
See the drunkyard of the village falling on the street.
D D2 D4 D5
Can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet.
G D D2
He loves his old laughin' lady 'cause her taste is so sweet.
D4 D3 G
But the laughin' lady's lovin', ain't the kind he can keep.
D D2 D4 D2
There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out the night.
D D2 D4 D5
There's a slippin' on the stairway, just don't feel right.
G D D2
And there's a rumblin' in the bedroom and a flashin' of light.
D4 D3 G F
There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right.
