Capo on 3, Standard Tuning Intro:E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA x4
E MajorE I was walking down the street,
G+G When out the corner of my eye
A augmentedA
G+G
D MajorD I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
E MajorE She said "I've never seen a man
G+G Who looks so all alone,
A augmentedA
G+G
D MajorD Could you use a little company?
E MajorE If you pay the right price
G+G Your evening will be nice,
A augmentedA
G+G
D MajorD And you can go and send me on my way."
E MajorE I said "You're such a sweet young thing
G+G Why you do this to yourself "
A augmentedA
G+G
D MajorD She looked at me and this is what she said,
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD "Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD Money don't grow on trees.
E MajorE I got bills to pay,
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD I got mouths to feed,
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD There ain't nothing in this world for free.
E MajorE I know I can't slow down,
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD I can't hold back,
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD Though you know, I wish I could.
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD Until we close our eyes for good".
E MajorE Not even fifteen minutes later
G+G I'm still walking down the street,
A augmentedA
G+G
D MajorD When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
E MajorE Then he walks up from behind
G+G And puts a gun up to my head,
A augmentedA
G+G
D MajorD He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.
E MajorE He said "Give me all you've got
G+G I want your money not your life,
A augmentedA
G+G
D MajorD But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."
E MajorE I said "You can have my cash
G+G But first you know I got to ask
A augmentedA
G+G
D MajorD What made you want to live this kind of life "
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD "Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD Money don't grow on trees.
E MajorE I got bills to pay,
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD I got mouths to feed,
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD There ain't nothing in this world for free.
E MajorE I know I can't slow down,
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD I can't hold back,
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD Though you know, I wish I could.
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD Until we close our eyes for good".
E MajorE Now a couple hours passed
G+G And I was sitting at my house,
A augmentedA
G+G
D MajorD The day was winding down and coming to an end.
E MajorE So I turned on the TV
G+G And flipped it over to the news,
A augmentedA
G+G
D MajorD And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.
E MajorE
G+G I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church,
A augmentedA
G+G
D MajorD He's got this bank account with righteous dollar bills.
E MajorE But even still I can't say much
G+G Because I know we're all the same,
A augmentedA
G+G
D MajorD Oh yes we've all got to satisfy those thrills.
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD "Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD Money don't grow on trees.
E MajorE I got bills to pay,
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD I got mouths to feed,
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD There ain't nothing in this world for free.
E MajorE I know I can't slow down,
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD I can't hold back,
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD Though you know, I wish I could.
E MajorE
G+G
A augmentedA
D MajorD No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
E MajorE
