GDon't call pretty Peggy,

CShe can't hear you no Gmore


Don't leave no message

CRound her back Gdoor

CThey say the old laughing lady

GBeen here before

DShe don't keep tCime

GShe don't count score

G C G

GYou can't have a cupboard

CIf there ain't no G wall


You got to move

CThere's no time for you to stall

C 020010 a
They say the old laughing lady

CDroppeDd by Gto call

DAnd when she leaaves

CShe leaves Gnothing at all


verse: (without the run through a)

GSee the drunkard of the village

CFallin' on his Gfeet


He can't tell his ankle

CFrom the rest of his Gfeet

C 020010 a
He loves his old laughing lady

CBecause the Gtaste bis so sweet

DBut the laughin' lady's loving

aAin't the kiCnd heG can keep

D a C G


GThere's a fever on the freeway

CBlacks out the Gnight


There's a slippin' on the stairway

CJust don't feel rGight

CThere's a rumblin' in the bedroom

CAnd a flashiGn' of light

DThere's the old laughing lady

CEverything is all rGight

DThere's the old laughing lady

CEverything is all rGight

D a 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

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

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

AWhy in crowds just a trace of my face should sEeem so pleasin'

DI'll cop out to the change bAut a stranger is puttingE 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

DIs it strange I should change? I Adon't know

DIs it strange I should change? I Adon't know
