 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...

 Mr. Soul : Unplugged



 (Tune the guitar down to D)



 E E E E

       

 E                                                 

 Oh hello Mr. Soul I droped by to pick up a reason 



         E                                                               

 For the thought that I'd caught that my head is the event of the season 



        A                                             E       

 Why in crowds just a trace of my face should seem so pleasin'



      D                           A                       E       

 I'll cop out to the change but a stranger is putting the tease on



 D  G D  x2



                                                           

 I was down on a frown when a messenger brought me a letter

 I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her

 Any girl in the world could have esaily known me better

 She said 'You're stange, but don't change' and I let her



 D

 

 In a while well the smile on my face turned to plaster

 Stick around while the clown who was sick does the trick of disaster

 For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster

 Is it strange I should change? I don't know - why don't you ask her



       D                                A   

 Is it strange I should change? I don't know



       D                                A   

 Is it strange I should change? I don't know
