The Last Laugh 

I love this song, so here are the chords I sing and strum along with. 
Here is a suggestion for the D#m7b5 chord:


-X-     
-7-
-6-     D#m7b5
-7-
-6-
-X-

It's usefullness depends on wether you use open chords or not. 
When strumming the song the only open chord I use is E

--------------------------------
                   A       B
Don't you love the sound
                  E
Of the last laugh my friend
           A		   B
Don't you love the sound
	          E
Of the last laugh at the end
A			    B
Down in the gutter with the mad old soldiers
E           D#m7b5             C#m
Down in the scuppers with the drunken sailors
A                           B
Down in the gutter with the mad old soldiers
	 E                  B
But the last laugh, baby is yours
(NC)            A	     B
And don't you love the sound
                  E         (NC)
Of the last laugh going down

(repeat etc)
