Am                 D7              
Some things in life are bad
         G               Em               
they can really make you mad
Am                D7                 G       Em           
other things just make you swear and curse
            Am                 D7                    
when you’re chewing on a large gristle
      G               Em                     
don’t grumble, give a whistle
    A7                                    D                   
and whistles help things turn out for the best

   G       Em          Am     D7      G                               
And always look at the bright side of life
 Em    Am   D7                                                   
(fløjt...)
G      Em          Am    D7      G                            
always look at the light side of life
 Em    Am    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
dont’ be silly chums
just purse your lips and whistle, that’s the thing

And always look at the bright side of life
(fløjt...)
always look at the light side of life
(fløjt...)

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 anyhow

So always look at the bright side of death
(fløjt...)
just before you draw your terminal breath
(fløjt...)

Life’s a piece of shit
when you look at it
life’s a laugh and death’s a joke - it’s true
you see it’s all a show
keep them laughing as you go 
just remember that the last laugh is on you
and always look at the bright side of life
always look at the light side of life
