Song title:      Laughing With
Original Album:  Far

Words and Music by Regina Spektor
Copyright © 2009 Sire Records
Published by Warner Music Group

Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfrets.net)


NOTES:
This was transcribed from the "Official Music Video", not the album.
It ought to be in the same key, but may not be.

Capo on 1. Chord names are relative to the capo position. Timing is 4/4.


INTRO:
Notes:
I realise that 2000xx is not called "G/F#". Here, the piano plays a
walk-down of the bass-line. I have used G/F# as a convenience throughout.

D  xx0232    D/F# 2x023x

Am                  Em
   No one laughs at God in a hospital
D                   G        G/F#
   No one laughs at God in a war
         Em
No one’s laughing at God
             D/F#                    C/G
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor


Am                 Em
  No one laughs at God when the doctor calls
D                  G
After some routine tests
         G/F#        Em
No one’s laughing at God
          D/F#
when it’s gotten real late
                         C/G
And their kid’s not back from that party yet


Am                 Em
  No one laughs at God when their airplane
D                G         G/F#
  Starts to uncontrollably shake
         Em
No one’s laughing at God
          D/F#                          C/G
When they see the one they love hand in hand
with someone else and they hope that they’re mistaken


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


CHORUS:
Chords:

               Am    Em
But God can be fun - ny
              D                         G               G/F#
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Em                            C/G
   Or when the crazies say He hates us
                           D
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke

           Am    Em
God can be fun - ny,
                         D                 G              G/F#
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
            Em                           C/G
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
          D
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious

   Am  Em  D  G
Ha ha
   Am  Em  D  G
Ha ha


VERSE
Am                 Em
  No one laughs at God in a hospital
D                           G   G/F#
  No one laughs at God in a war
         Em
No one’s laughing at God
             D/F#
when they’ve lost all they got
         C/G
And they don’t know what for


Am                 Em                     D
  No one laughs at God on the day they realize
                                 G                G/F#
that the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
Am                     Em
  No one’s laughing at God
                          C/G
When they’re saying their goodbyes


[repeat CHORUS]


VERSE:

  No one laughs at God in a war
Am                 Em
  No one laughs at God in a hospital
D                           G   G/F#
  No one laughs at God in a war
         Em
No one's laughing at God in a hospital
       D                    G   G/F#
No one laughing at God in a war
         Em
No one’s laughing at God
             D/F#                       C/G
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor


[continue on C/G chord]

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