A      B
Don't you love the sound
E          Esus4   E
Of the last laugh my friend
E7         A               B
Don't you love the sound
E           Esus4  E  E7
Of the last laugh at the end
A                            B
Down in the gutter with the mad old soldiers
E             B                C#m              Emaj7
Down in the scuppers with the drunken sailors

Down in the gutter with the mad old soldiers
E                    B     Bsus4   B
But the last laugh, baby is yours
A              B

E            Esus4  E
Of the last laugh going down

A       B
Games you thought you'd learned
E     Esus4  E
You neither lost nor won
E7                      A        B
Dreams have crashed and burned
E    Esus4  E  E7
You still keep on keeping on
A                            B
Out on the highway with the road gang working
E                B           C#m               Emaj7
Up on the mountain with the cold wind blowing
A                            B
Out on the highway with the road band working
E                    B     Bsus4   B
But the last laugh, baby is yours
A       B
And don't you love the sound
E     Esus4   E
Of the last laugh going down
