Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Am Am/D     Am                    Cm
       Some things in life are bad
         G                  E7
They can really make you mad
Am                D                  G
Other things just make you swear and curse
            Am                Cm
When you're chewing on life's gristle
      G               E7
Don't grumble, give a whistle
    A7                                   D9
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And

[Chorus]
G      Em          Am7    D7          G Em
Always look on the bright side of life
Am7
D7 G      Em          Am7   D7          G Em
   Always look on the light side of life

[Verse 2]
Am7 D7   Am               D
      If life seems jolly rotten
        G                   E7
There's something you've forgotten
    Am                  D                   G
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
            Am             D
When you're feeling in the dumps
     G          E7
Don't be silly, chumps
     A7                                     D9
Just purse your lips and whistle that's the thing
And

[Chorus]
G      Em          Am7    D7          G Em
Always look on the bright side of life
Am7
D7 G      Em          Am7   D7          G Em
   Always look on the right side of life

[Verse 3]
Am7 D7            Am              D
      When you're in the world cup
    G                  E7
And all your hopes are up
    Am             D             G
And everybody wants your team to win
      Am                 D
And I go and let you down
        G                 E7
I can't sleep get back to town
     A7                           D9
It's time for this duff song to begin
So

[Chorus]
G      Em          Am7    D7          G Em
Always look on the bright side of life
Am7
D7 G      Em          Am7   D7          G Em
   Always look on the right side of life

[Verse 4]
Am7 D7    Am                  D
      For life is quite absurd
    G                     E7
And death's the final word
         Am              D              G
You must always face the curtain with a bow
   Am             D
Forget about your sin
         G              E7
Give the audience a grin
  A7                              D9
Enjoy it it's your last chance anyhow

[Chorus]
   G      Em          Am7    D7           G Em
So always look on the bright side of death
Am7
D7 G      Em       Am7       D7             G Em
   Just before you draw your terminal breath

[Verse 5]
Am7 D7  Am                D
      A life's a piece of shit
G                  E7
When you look at it
      Am            D
Life's  a laugh and death's a joke,
     G
it's true
       Am             D
You'll see it's all a show
         G                 E7
Keep 'em laughin' as you go
       A7                               D9
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
And

[Chorus]
G      Em          Am7    D7          G Em
Always look on the bright side of life
Am7
D7 G      Em          Am7   D7          G Em
   Always look on the right side of life
Am7       D7
