OLD LAUGHING LADY (DEMO) As recorded by Buffalo Springfield (1967 recording from the 2001 Boxset BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD) Capo 1st fret. If you don’t want to use a capo transpose +1 step. [Intro] [Verse 1] Don’t call pretty Peggy she can’t hear you no more Don’t leave no message ’round her back door They say the old laughing lady been here before Well she don’t keep time she don’t count score [Verse 2] You can’t have a cupboard if there ain’t no wall You got to move you got no time left to stall Some say the old laughing lady dropped by to call And when she leaves she leaves nothing at all [Interlude] [Verse 3] There’s a fever on the freeway blacks out the night There’s a slipping on the stairway just don’t feel right And there’s a rumbling in the bedroom There’s a flashing of light There’s the old laughing lady everything is all right
