They're not laughing at me now Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Tel[C]l m[G]e, how does it feel
in the hour of deception
And the moment of pretend
To be scorned
By those rank and those unkind strangers
You were fool enough to call your friends?
[D]Will you say, as [C]the curtain

[Verse 2]
[F]
[D]descends
"They're not [G]laughing
at me now"

[Verse 3]
When the last [G]of the garlands
and laurel crowns
And fine bouquets have all
been swept away
You were lost in the smokescreens and cavalcades
and accolades
Instead of traitors [C]paid[G][D]
Well, will [C]you find the courage
[F]to [G]say[D]
[Em]"They're not [G]laughing at
[D]me now"[G]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
You could shake [Am]my h[A]and[Am][Em]
If I could [Am]unform my [C]fist
If I were a [Am]gentleman[Bm][B]
[Bm]If I[Em] were a [A]Christian[Am][A]
But I wouldn't risk it, why would you?
You know my name now,

[Interlude 1]
it's "Mister" to you
[D][C][D][Am][D][G]
[Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 5]
Now [G]we're back [C]at the start
[G]
No forgiveness in your heart
You turn your coat and ask me to
turn my [C]cheek[G]
And it's all in a [C#dim]lan guage[G]
That I can understand but never
bring myself [D]to speak
I live to tell [C]you
If [F]you [D]dare
It's a peal too [C]appalling to [F]bear[D]
I, I, I wonder [C]if you here
or are [F]you there
[D]They're not laughing at
me now
[G]

[Verse 7]
They're not laughing at me now
[G]
They're not laughing at me now
They're not laughing at him now
[G]
