The Sound Of Laughter Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Capo II

[INTRO]
[G] [C] [D]

[G]I stood there in the shadows as they went strollin by
Now she [C]ain't my gal no longer, there's no reason I should cry
But I k[D]new there went my future, and I couldn't stop the tears
At the [C]sound of laughter r[D]ingin in my e[G]ars

[C]I spent every dime I had on her and w[G]hen it was gone
She said h[C]on it's sure been fun, but it's t[D]ime you moved along
So i [G]stood there in the shadows, and I had my forty-four
I could [C]hear her mockin laughter but she won't laugh anymore
Now I'm [D]down here in the jailhouse and i know what brought me here
It was the so[C]und of laughter r[D]ingin in my [G]ears

[INTERLUDE]
[C]Well I guess I should have left this town and [G]her far behind
For the [C]way that she made fun of me k[D]eeps runnin through my mind
Well the ju[G]ry showed no mercy and I never asked for none
'Cause I [C]know I got it comin, I'm not proud of what I done
But d[D]own here in this darkness, more and more I seem to hear
The s[C]ound of laughter r[D]ingin in my e[G]ars
I hear the [C]sound of laughter r[D]ingin in my e[G]ars
