Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life

Words & Music:

Monty Python

 

     Am                 D            G               Em

Some things in life are bad they can really make you mad

      Am                   D         G

Other things just make you swear and curse

            Am                D

When you've chewing an life's gristle

      G              Em

Don't grumble give a whistle

    Am                                   D7

And this'll help things turn out for the best

 

    G      Em          Am     D7      G      Em    Am    D7

And always look on the bright side of life

   G   Em          Am    D7      G     Em    Am    D7

Always look on the light side of life

   Am               D              G                Em

If life seems jolly rotten there's something you've forgotten

              Am                  D         G

and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.

            Am             D              G     Em

When you've feeling in the dumps don't be silly chumps

     Am                                       D7

Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing

 

And always look on the bright side of life.

Come on, always look on the bright side of life.

For life is quite absurd and death's the final word.

You must always face the curtain with a bow.

Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin

Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

 

So, always look on the bright side of death.

Just before you draw your terminal breath.

Life's a piece of shit when you look at it

Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true

You'll see it's all a show - keep'em laughing as you go

Just remember that the last laugh is on you

    G      Em          Am     D7      G     Em    Am    D7

And always look on the bright side of life

G      Em          Am    D7      G      Em    Am    D7

Always look on the right side of life

(Come on guys, cheer up)

A      F#          Bm    E7      A     F#    Bm    E7

Always look on the right side of life

A      F#          Bm    E7      A     F#    Bm    E7

Always look on the right side of life...
