Text

Some Amthings in life are Dbad they can Greally make you Emmad

Other Amthings just make you Dswear and Gcurse

When you've Amchewing an life's Dgristle

Don't Ggrumble give a Emwhistle

And Amthis'll help things turn out for the D7best

And Galways Emlook on the Ambright D7side of Glife Em Am D7

GAlways Emlook on the Amlight D7side of Glife Em Am D7

If Amlife seems jolly Drotten there's Gsomething you've Emforgotten

and that's to Amlaugh and smile and Ddance and Gsing.

When you've Amfeeling in the Ddumps don't be Gsilly Emchumps

Just Ampurse your lips and whistle - that's the D7thing

And Galways Emlook on the Ambright D7side of Glife Em Am D7

Come on GAlways Emlook on the Ambright D7side of Glife Em Am D7

For Amlife is quite Dabsurd and Gdeath's the final Emword

you must Amalways face the Dcurtain with a Gbow

ForAmget about your Dsin - give the Gaudience a Emgrin

AmEnjoy it - it's your last chance D7anyhow.

So Galways Emlook on the Ambright D7side of Gdeath Em Am D7

Gjust beEmfore you Amdraw your D7terminal Gbreath Em Am D7

AmLife's a piece of Dshit Gwhen you look at Emit

AmLife's a laugh and Ddeath's a joke it's Gtrue

You'll Amsee it's all a Dshow

keep'em Glaughing as you Emgo

just Amremember that the last laugh is on D7you

And Galways Emlook on the Ambright D7side of Glife Em Am D7

GAlways Emlook on the Amlight D7side of Glife Em Am D7

And Aalways F#look on the Bmright E7side of Alife F# Bm E7

Aalways F#look on the Bmright E7side of Alife F# Bm E7
