Lyrics and Chords


[Life of Brian, The]

[ Ebdim7 = xx1212 ]

Cheer up, Brian
You know what they say

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best, hey

/ Am Ebdim7 / G G6 / Am Ebdim7 G G6 / 
   / Am Ebdim7 / G E7 / A7 - D7 - /

   Always look on the bright side of life
   Always look on the light side of life

   / G Em7 Am7 D7 G Em7 Am7 D7 / /

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse you're lips and whistle, that's the thing

   And, always look on the bright side of life
   Always look on the right side of life

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it's your last chance of the hour

   So, always look on the bright side of death
   Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece o' shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Remember that the last laugh is on you

And, always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
Come on, Brian cheer up

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life

/ A F#m7 Bm7 E7 A F#m7 Bm7 E7 / /

Worse things happen at sea, you know
Always look on the bright side of life
I mean, what do you have to lose
You come from nothing
You go back to nothing
What have you lost, nothing
Always look on the bright side of life
