Intro: Amaj7 Dmaj7 (2x)
Amaj7 Dmaj7
A man walks into a bar
Amaj7
orders a beer and a bowl of peanuts
Dmaj7
but the bar turns into a spaceship
C
and the bartender gives him a haircut
D
I can’t remember the end of that joke
C
you once told me to me when we smoked
D
on your father’s expensive cigars
all I remember is the part
Amaj7
of a man walking into a bar
How many lovers does it take
to put a light bulb into a socket
and why did Mona Lisa smile
I have the answer written down in my pocket
I just remember I laughed ‘til I cried
because you told it to me with your funny voice
your southern dialect makes me rejoice
these special times we had
when love was just a silly gag
Amaj7
I know why Mona Lisa smiled
da Vinci must have been a really funny guy
E Amaj7
and laughter is the only way into my heart
Summer night on a gravel road
you told me ‘bout your childhood friend Veronica
who was claimed to have swallowed a toe
then I picked up my harmonica
I know why Mona Lisa smiled
da Vinci must have been a really funny guy
and laughter is the only way into my heart
A man walks into a bar
orders a scotch and a bottle of coke
but the laughter is gone in his heart
you never told me the end of the joke…
