[Verse 1]
     Am                 Adim7         G               G6 
Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad
Am                Adim7                G  G6
Other things just make you swear and curse
            Am                Adim7  
When you're chewing on life's gristle
      G               E7     
Don't grumble, give a whistle
    A7                                   D7  
And this'll help things turn out for the best

[Chorus]
    G      Em7         Am     D7         GEm7
And always look on the bright side of life
G      Em7         Am    D7         GEm7
Always look on the light side of life

[Verse 2]
   Am               D7              G                   Em7   
If life seems jolly rotten, there's something you've forgotten
    Am                  D7                  G   G6
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
            Am              D7     G               E7  
When you're feeling in the dumps, don't be silly chumps
     A7                                       D7   
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing

[Chorus]
    G      Em7         Am     D7         G    Em7      AmD7
And always look on the bright side of life,       come on
G      Em7         Am    D7         GEm7
Always look on the right side of life

[Verse 3]
    Am              D7       G                 Em7 
For life is quite absurd and death's the final word
         Am              D7              G G6
You must always face the curtain with a bow
   Am             D7             G           E7 
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
  A7                                 D7
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow

[Chorus]
   G      Em7         Am     D7         G Em7
So always look on the bright side of death
G      Em7      Am        D7           G Em7
Just before you draw your terminal breath

[Verse 4]
Am                 D7   G                  Em7
Life's a piece of shit, when you look at it
Am                 D7                    G  G6
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
       Am             D7   
You'll see it's all a show,
         G               E7
keep 'em laughing as you go
       A7                               D7 
Just remember that the last laugh is on you

[Chorus]
    G      Em7         Am     D7         GEm7
And always look on the bright side of life
G      Em7         Am    D7         GEm7
Always look on the right side of life
