G#
James
F#m
If you heed the call
Fm                     D#
And you go outside and wander off
G#
Then home is there
A#m
Wherever you will make it
C#                         D#
You can always say, "Who's laughing now?"

James
If you need a friend
Come right over, you don't even knock
And I'll be home
The door is always open
And we both can say, "Who's laughing now?"

Chorus:
G#
Oh, James
Fm
My little doll
C#                          D#
You just go outside and you call
A#m
Oh, James
D#                        G#
Oh, you're never too far off

Oh, James
My little doll
You just go outside and you call
Oh, James
No, you're never too far off

If your fire's out
There's no need to shout, I'm always home
And walk on in
I'll make you tea and breakfast
And we both can say, "Who's laughing now?"

Oh, James
