Laugh and Be Happy

Some chords aren't totally there, or some are incorrect, but if you're crafty, I
bet you can finish the song. No one has posted anything so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I know what's going on here
C E Am
Ain't no mystery
E Am7
Y'all have lost faith in yourselves
D7 G7
It's as clear as it can be

Drown in your misery
(G#-D-A#)
Or you can listen to me
D7 G7
Listen to me

Don't you ever wear a frown

Don't let the bastards grind you down

It's a simple thing to do
Am7 Em
Believe in your dreams
D7 G7
And your dreams will come true for you

Am D#(F)Em D#(FD7 G7
There'll be a red sun shining in a sky so blue
D#(F) G7 C
Blackbirds singing in the trees

Up there for me and you

Whenever they knock you down

'Cause pretty soon

You're gonna take their place

(Inst. Solo)

They’ll come whack whack whackin' like old man trouble
