	She don't keep time, she don't count score.

	When she leaves,   she leaves nothing at all.

	See the drunkyard of the village  falling on the street.         
	D                      D2                   D4    D5

	But the laughin' lady's lovin',  ain't the kind he can keep.

	There's a fever on the freeway,  blacks out the night.           
	           D                       D2                 D4    D5   
	There's a slippin' on the stairway,  just don't feel right.      
	              G                                           D    D2
	And there's a rumblin' in the bedroom and a flashin' of light.   
	             D4                D3                  G     F       
	There's the old laughing lady,  everything is all right.
