Laughing With Tab

by Regina Spektor


Thanks to gordonmjulian for laying down the bare bones.
Just with the after G chord, to shake it up a little and upset people,
move the bass note on G down a fret
E-----3------    --------3------------------------------------|
B------------    ---------------------------------------------|
G------------THEN---------------------------------------------|
D------------    ---------------------------------------------|
A-----2------    ---------------------------------------------|
E-----3------    --------2------------------------------------|
tricky, ain't it.
Enjoy.

Capo 1st.


                  
   No one laughs at God in a hospital
                                   
   No one laughs at God in a war
          
No one’s laughing at God
                                   
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor


               
No one laughs at God when the doctor calls
                    
After some routine tests
            
No one’s laughing at God
            
when it’s gotten real late
           
And their kid’s not back from that party yet


               
No one laughs at God when their airplane
                          
Starts to uncontrollably shake
            
No one’s laughing at God
                                      
When they see the one they love hand in hand

with someone else and they hope that they’re mistaken


               
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door
                             
And they say “We’ve got some bad news, sir,”
            
No one’s laughing at God
                              
When there’s a famine, fire or flood


Chorus

                 
But God can be funny
                                             
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
              
Or when the crazies say He hates us
                                                
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
             
God can be funny,
                                                    
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
                                        
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
            
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
    
God can be so hilarious
             
Ha ha
             
Ha ha

               
No one laughs at God in a hospital
                          
No one laughs at God in a war
          
No one’s laughing at God
              
when they’ve lost all they got
          
And they don’t know what for

                
No one laughs at God on the day they realize
                                         
that the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
           
No one’s laughing at God
              
When they’re saying their goodbyes


Chorus

                        
But God can be fuuuuuunny
                                             
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
              
Or when the crazies say He hates us
                                                
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
                       
God can be fuuuuuunny,
                                                    
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
                                        
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
            
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
    
God can be so hilarious

               
No one laughs at God in a hospital
                 
No one laughs at God in a war
                   
No one’s laughing at God in a hospital
                    
No one’s laughing at God in a war
           
No one’s laughing at God
                                       
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor


(carry on C/G chord)


No one’s laughing at God

No one's laughing at God

No one's laughing at God
                    
We’re all laughing with God
