Tommy Larsson asked for this one.  This is how I remember it.   Information about the Nashville Number System can be found in the Cowpie lesson  archives.  My explanation is #3, but all are good.   If you want  to go there now, click this link:

FUNNY WAY OF LAUGHIN'

 

Burl Ives

 

(Chorus) 

 

IT'S JUST MY FUNNY WAY OF LAUGHIN' YES MY, FUNNY WAY OF LAUGHIN'

 

YOU'RE LEAVIN' DIDN'T BOTHER ME

 

IT'S JUST MY FUNNY WAY OF LAUGHIN' YES MY, FUNNY WAY OF LAUGHIN'

 

I'M REALLY HAPPY AS CAN BE

 

(Verse 1)

 

IF YOU SEE ME WITH A GREAT BIG SMILE

 

AT SOME PARTY WHERE THE FUN RUNS WILD

 

IF TEARS START TO FLOW AND I FALL APART

 

PLEASE DON'T THINK YOU BROKE MY HEART

 

(Verse 2)

 

IF WE MEET--- ON THE STREET

 

AND A LITTLE BITTA TEAR ROLLS DOWN MY CHEEK

 

PLEASE DON'T THINK IT'S BECAUSE I'M BLUE

 

OR THAT I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

 

(Verse 3)

 

REMEMBER THE DAY YOU LEFT OUR PLACE

 

AND THE TEARS ROLLED DOWN MY FACE

 

IT WASN'T BECAUSE YOU WERE LEAVIN' ME

 

I WAS HAPPY BECAUSE YOU WERE PLEASIN' ME

 

(Chorus)

 

         4          4          1         1 

 

         5          5          1         1 

 

         4          4          1         1 

 

         5          4          1         1 

 

(Verses)

 

         1          5          4         1

 

         1          4       (1 5)        1         17
