Laugh Kills Lonesome
Am7 G13 Am7 G13
All around the campfire stood, seven dusty men.
Am7 G13 Am7 G13
The cook was drinking applejack, the cattle were all penned.
Am7 G13 Am7 G13
Someone must have cracked a wise one because the men began to grin.
Am7 G13 Am7 G13
Their smiles shot out like sunbeams and made the night give in.
chorus:
Am7 D9 G Em7 Am7 D9 G Em7
Because Laugh kills lonesome every single time.
Am7 D9 G Em7
That's why Charlie Russell painted it.
Am7 D9 G Em7
And why it looks so fine.
Am7 D9 G Em7 Am7 D9 G Em7
Laugh kills lonesome every single time.
instr. (chorus and verse)
Am7 G13 Am7 G13
Roy and Dale and Pecos Bill, they knew all about this.
Am7 G13 Am7 G13
So did Walt and Hasui, who gave it their own twist.
Am7 G13 Am7 G13
Sometimes, when things can't get much worse and life's become a fist.
Am7 G13 Am7 G13
Someone will crack a wise one and laughter works like this, huh-huh.
