Laughter In A Time Of War

Esus4 E Esus4 E


[Verse 1]

A         E          D            E
Sometimes feels like singing your life away
A       E F#m G               D
F sharp minor up and down the motorway
A       E               D           E
Too dog-tired; wouldn't want it any other way
D             E       A   Esus4 E
Laughter in a time of war
A         E       D             E
Love on a Monday, football on a Saturday
A          E    F#m        G           D
Home-grown strawberries to justify the rain
A           E         D            E
Sometimes I do, but I shouldn't complain
D             E       A   A7
Laughter in a time of war


[Chorus]

D     D7
Oh my soul
       A
We got oil for the pan
       A7
We got rock 'n roll
D                  Dm
Laughter lines run deeper than skin
        Esus4                           E               Esus4  E
And the world's just something that the cat brought in


[Verse 2]

A           E       D           E
Late summer evening after the attack
A             E   F#m    G               D
Food from the aeroplanes wrapped up in a flag
   A            E            D          E
He went for the money but he won't come back
D             E       A   A7
Laughter in a time of war


[Chorus]

D     D7
Oh my soul
       A
We got oil for the pan
       A7
We got rock 'n roll
D                  Dm
Laughter lines run deeper than skin
        Esus4                           E               Esus4  E
And the world's just something that the cat brought in


[Verse 3]

A       E        D       E
Take my life and sing it back to me
A      E      F#m     G         D
My big mouth, it's my own worst enemy
A            E          D         E
Funny how it all sounds better in harmony
D             E       A   A7
Laughter in a time of war


[Chorus]

D     D7
Oh my soul
       A
We got oil for the pan
       A7
We got rock 'n roll
D                  Dm
Laughter lines run deeper than skin
        Esus4                           E               Esus4  E
And the world's just something that the cat brought in
D     D7
Oh my soul
A     A7
Oh my soul
D     Dm
Oh my soul
