The Laughing Woman

C   (B) Bb    Am    C

[Verse]
C           (B) Bb           Am     C
Laughing woman do you worry about anything?
C             (B) Bb            Am        C
Nothing seems to bother you not even your bad knees
C             (B) Bb               Am             C
Your husband is concerned with your behavior He’s upset
C             (B) Bb           Am              C
He sits by the window with his head inside his hands

[Chorus]
B7           F        Em       Am
Can you stop thinking life’s a joke
B7            F    Em   Am
When you know everybody hurts
B7         F     Em          Am
Pretending everything’s just fine
B7           F    Em   Am
Leaving your dignity behind

Nothing seems to bother you not even your bad knees
C             (B) Bb               Am             C
Your husband is concerned with your behavior He’s upset
C             (B) Bb           Am              C
He sits by the window with his head inside his hands

Pretending everything’s just fine
B7           F    Em   Am
Leaving your dignity behind

[Bridge]
F             C    G    Am Bb      F    G
Maybe the laughing woman’s been right along
F                  C     G    Am   Bb          F    G
Her husband just brings her down But she just rides along
