D                       Em/D                      Dmaj7  Em/D
Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more
D                     Em/D           Dmaj7
Don't leave no message 'round her back door


[Chorus]

G/D                                        D      Em/D
They say the "Old Laughing Lady" been here before
     Dmaj7         Dm7               G
She don't keep time, she don't count score


[Verse 2]

D                       Em/D          Dmaj7  Em/D
You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall
D                       Em/D         Dmaj7  Em/D
You got to move, there's no time left to stall


[Chorus]

G/D                                   D      Em/D
They say the "Old Laughing Lady" dropped by to call
Dmaj7              Dm7                     G
When she leaves, she leaves nothing at all


Dmaj7  Dm7  Dmaj7  Dm7  G/D  Dmaj7  Dm7  Dmaj7  Dm7  G/D  D


D                       Em/D                 Dmaj7  Em/D
See the drunkyard of the village falling on the street
D                     Em/D           Dmaj7
Can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet

G/D                                   D      Em/D
He loves his old laughing lady 'cause her taste is so sweet
Dmaj7              Dm7                     G
But the laughing lady's lovin', ain't the kind he can keep


D                     Em/D           Dmaj7
There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out the night
D                     Em/D           Dmaj7
There's a slipping on the stairway, just don't feel right

D                     Em/D           Dmaj7
And there's a rumbling in the bedroom and a flashing of light
               Dmaj7           Dm7                     C
There's the "Old Laughing Lady", ev'rything is all right
