Standard (EADGBE)

Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more.

Don't leave no message 'round her back door.

They say the "Old Laughing Lady" been here before.

 She don't keep time, she don't count score.

You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall.

You got to move, There's no time left to stall.

They say the "Old Laughing Lady" dropped by to call.

When she leaves, she leaves nothing at all.

See the drunkyard of the village falling on the street.

Can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet.

He loves his old laughing lady 'cause her taste is so sweet.

But the laughing lady's lovin', ain't the kind he can keep.

There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out the night.

There's a slipping on the stairway, just don't feel right.

And there's a rumbling in the bedroom and a flashing of light.

  (addD)

There's the "Old Laughing Lady", ev'rything is all right.

OBS! The chords in this song is:

Old Laughing Lady : Unplugged

  Don't call pretty Peggy,

  She can't hear you no more

Don't leave no message

  Round her back door

  They say the old laughing lady

  Been here before

  She don't keep time

  She don't count score

  You can't have a cupboard

  If there ain't no wall

You got to move

  There's no time for you to stall

020010

They say the old laughing lady

  Dropped by to call

  And when she leaves

  She leaves nothing at all

Verse

(without the run through Am)

  See the drunkard of the village

  Fallin' on his feet

He can't tell his ankle

  From the rest of his feet

020010

He loves his old laughing lady

  Because the taste is so sweet

  But the laughin' lady's loving

  Ain't the kind he can keep

  There's a fever on the freeway

  Blacks out the night

There's a slippin' on the stairway

  Just don't feel right

  There's a rumblin' in the bedroom

  And a flashin' of light

  There's the old laughing lady

  Everything is all right

  There's the old laughing lady

  Everything is all right

notes: the quick change to C and G at the end of 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...

added:

Neil embellishes the G chords by hammering on the

E note on the second fret of the D string with his

index finger.

I also believe that he plays some of his G chords

in the D chord shape at the 7th fret G/D .

Strum loosely with an easy feel.
