			"Laugh Laugh"
		         (Ron Elliot)

Note: The acoustic rhythm part [in brackets] is capoed at the fourth fret.

Intro:

    Ab   Abmaj7  Ab7   Abmaj7      			[E]
  xx65xx xx55xx xx45xx xx55xx
   Abm  Abm/maj7 Abm7 Abm/maj7      			[Em]
  xx64xx xx54xx xx44xx xx54xx

Verse 1:

  Abm                    C#m				[Em  Am]
  I hate to say it but I told you so
  Abm                        C#m			[Em  Am]
  Don't mind my preaching to you
  Abm                             C#m      B		[Em  Am  G]
  I said "don't trust him", baby, now you know
       E                 A                B        E    [C F G C]
  You don't learn everything there is to know in school

  Wouldn't believe me when I gave advice
  I said that he was a tease
  If you want help you better ask me nice
  So be sincere, convince me with a "pretty please"

Chorus:

  F#               B					[D  G]
  Laugh Laugh, I thought I'd die
  E                     A				[C  F]
  It seemed so funny to me,
  D                 G					[Bb  Eb]
  Laugh Laugh, you met a guy
       C                         B			[Ab  G]
  who taught you how it feels to be
   E  A   E  A      E  A   E  A				[C F C F]
  Lonely,    oh so lonely

Verse 2:

  Don't think I'm being funny when I say
  You got just what you deserve
  I can't help feeling you found out today
  You thought you were too good you had a lot of nerve

  Won't say I'm sorry for the things I said
  I'm glad he packed up to go
  You kept on bragging he was yours instead
  Found you don't know everything there is to know

[repeat chorus]

Instrumental break [play 2X]:

    Ab   Abmaj7  Ab7   Abmaj7          			[E]
  xx65xx xx55xx xx45xx xx55xx

Verse 3:

  Before I go I'd like to say one thing
  Don't close your ears to me
  Take my advice and you'll find out that being
  Just another girl won't cause you misery

  You say you can get any boy at your call
  Don't be so smug or else
  You'll find you can't get any boy at all
  You'll wind up an old lady sitting on the shelf

[repeat chorus]

Coda (original 45 fades out; most CD reissues end cold on E):

   E  A   E  A      E  A   E  A				[C F C F]
  Lonely,    oh so lonely
