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

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…
