A
Don't you love the sound
B                    E
 Of the last laugh my friend
               A
Don't you love the sound
B                    E 
 Of the last laugh at the end
A                        B
  Down in the gutter with the mad old soldiers
E            E/Eb              E/C#   B
 Down in the scuppers with the drunken sailors
A                        B
  Down in the gutter with the mad old soldiers
       E                B7
But the last laugh, baby is yours
                  A       B
And don't you love the sound
                   E
Of the last laugh going down


                   A         B
Games you thought you'd learned
                 E
You neither lost nor won
                  A      B
Dreams have crashed and burned
                    E
You still keep on keeping on
A                       B
 Out on the highway with the road gang working
E          E/Eb                 E/C#       B 
 Up on the mountain with the cold wind blowing
A                        B
  Out on the highway with the road band working
       E                B7
But the last laugh, baby is yours
                   A      B
And don't you love the sound
                     E
Of the last laugh going down

A                        B
  They had you crying but you came up smiling
E              E/Eb             E/C#     B 
 They had you crawling and you came up flying
A                        B
  They had you crying and you came up smiling
        E                  B7
And the last laugh, baby is yours
                   A       B
And don't you love the sound

Of the last laugh going down
