Monty Python (Eric Idle, 1979)
Mostly 2 beat chord changes.
4/4 | d - D u d - D u |
1 2 & 3 4 &
Some [Gm↓] things in life are [C↓] bad
they can [F↓] really make you [Dm↓] mad
Other [Gm↓] things just [C↓] make you swear and [F↓] curse
When you're [Gm↓] chewing on life's [C↓] gristle
Don't [F↓] grumble give a [Dm↓] whistle
And [Gm↓] this'll help things turn out for the [C7↓] best
Chorus
| [F] Always [Dm] look on the | [Gm] bright [C7] side of |
| [F] life [Dm] | [Gm] [C7] |
| [F] Always [Dm] look on the | [Gm] light [C7] side of |
| [F] life [Dm] | [Gm] | [C7]
If | [Gm] life seems jolly [C] rotten
there's | [F] something you've for- [Dm] gotten
And | [Gm] that's to laugh and [C] smile and dance and | [F] sing
When you're | [Gm] feeling in the [C] dumps |
| [F] don't be silly [Dm] chumps
Just | [Gm] purse your lips and whistle, that's the | [C7] thing |
Chorus
And | [F] Always [Dm] look on the | [Gm] bright [C7] side of |
| [F] life [Dm] | [Gm] [C7] |
| [F] Always [Dm] look on the | [Gm] light [C7] side of |
| [F] life [Dm] | [Gm] | [C7]
For | [Gm] life is quite ab- [C] surd
and | [F] death's the final [Dm] word
You must | [Gm] always face the [C] curtain with a | [F] bow
For- | [Gm] get about your [C] sin, give the | [F] audience a [Dm] grin
En- | [Gm] joy it, it's your last chance any- | [C7] how
Chorus
So | [F] Always [Dm] look on the | [Gm] bright [C7] side of |
| [F] death [Dm] | [Gm] [C7] |
| [F] Just be- [Dm] fore you | [Gm] draw your [C7] terminal |
| [F] breath [Dm] | [Gm] [C7] |
| [Gm] Life's a piece of [C] shit | [F] when you look at [Dm] it |
| [Gm] Life's a laugh and [C] death's a joke it's | [F] true
You'll | [Gm] see it's all a [C] show
Keep 'em | [F] laughing as you [Dm] go
Just re- | [Gm] member that the last laugh is on | [C7] you
Chorus
And | [F] Always [Dm] look on the | [Gm] bright [C7] side of |
| [F] life [Dm] | [Gm] [C7] |
| [F] Always [Dm] look on the | [Gm] right [C7] side of |
| [F] life [Dm] | [Gm] [C7] |
| [F] Always [Dm] look on the | [Gm] bright [C7] side of |
| [F] life [Dm] | [Gm] [C7] |
| [F] Always [Dm] look on the | [Gm] bright [C7] side of |
| [F] life [Dm] | [Gm] [C7] | [F↓]
