verse 1:
Am Am D D G G Em Em
Some things in life are bad they can really make you mad
Am Am D D G G
Other things just make you swear and curse
Am Am D D
When you've chewing an life's gristle
G G Em Em
Don't grumble give a whistle
Am Am D7 D7
And this'll help things turn out for the best

chorus:
G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7 G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7
And always look on the bright side of life
G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7 G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7
Always look on the light side of life

verse 2:
Am Am D D G G Em Em
If life seems jolly rotten there's something you've forgotten
Am Am D D G G
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
Am Am D D G G Em Em
When you've feeling in the dumps don't be silly chumps
Am Am D7 D7
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing

chorus:
G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7 G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7
And always look on the bright side of life
G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7 G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7
Come on always look on the bright side of life

verse 3:
Am Am D D G G Em Em
For life is quite absurd and death's the final word
Am Am D D G G
you must always face the curtain with a bow
Am Am D D G G Em Em
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Am Am D7 D7
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7 G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7
So always look on the bright side of death
G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7 G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7
just before you draw your terminal breath

Am Am D D G G Em Em
Life's a piece if shit when you look at it
Am Am D D G G
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true
Am Am D D
You'll see it's all a show
G G Em Em
keep'em laughing as you go
Am Am D7 D7
just remember that the last laugh is on you

G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7 G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7
And always look on the bright side of life
G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7 G G Em Em Am Am D7 D7
Always look on the right side of life
(Come on guys, cheer up)
A A F# F# Bm Bm E7 E7 A A F# F# Bm Bm E7 E7
Always look on the right side of life
A A F# F# Bm Bm E7 E7 A A F# F# Bm Bm E7 E7

About this song: Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life

This song is about always being optimistic, even if your life is awful. Eric Idle sings this at the end of Life Of Brian. Idle plays the lead crucifee. This song was remade in 1997 by Art Garfunkel for the Movie As Good As It Gets starring Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. The lyric "Life's a Piece of S--t" is replaced as "Life's a Counterfeit." It can be heard at the end credits
