"Listen For The Laugh" (Cockburn)
From "Dart to the Heart"(1994)
Bruce and Colin Linden (on slide, of course) both play in the version of open
A tuning
that is identical to open G but up a full step (EAEAC#E).
Like Open E, this tuning can put strain on your guitar neck and strings,
so regular Open G plus capo 2 is probably safer, but I'll leave the chord
shapes noted in A.
A: 000000 and 005430
D: 555555 and x02012
E: 777777 and xx0230
G: xx3213 and xx101010x

E G D A
It's not the laughter of rain in the drain,
E G D A
It's not the laughter of a man in pain,
E G D A
It's not the laughter you can hide behind,
E G D A
It's not the laughter of a frightened mind.
G D
Balanced on the brink, only waiting for a shove,
A E A
you better listen for the laugh of love.
G D
Balanced on the brink only waiting for a shove,

[Verse]
E G D A
It's not the laughter of the gloating rich,
E G D A
It's not the laughter of the sacred bitch,
