Intro: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
G+G
He was standing in the rubble
C majorC G+G
Of an old farmhouse outside of Birmingham
G+G
When some on-the-scene reporter
C majorC D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD
Stuck a camera in the face of that old man
G+G
He said, tell the folks, please mister
F6add9
What are you gonna do
C majorC
Now that this twister has taken
A minorAm
All that's dear to you
E minorEm D MajorD
The old man just smiled and said
C majorC
Boy, let me tell you something
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
This ain't nothin'
Csus4Csus4
He said, I lost my daddy when I was eight years old
G+G
That cave-in at the Kincaid Mine left a big old hole
Csus4Csus4
And I lost my baby brother, my best friend, and my left hand
G+G Csus4Csus4 G+G
In a no-win situation in a place called Vietnam
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
And last year I watched my lovin' wife
Csus4Csus4 G+G
Of fifty years, waste away and die
A minorAm E minor 7Em7 Csus4Csus4 D MajorD
And I held her hand as her heart of gold stopped pumpin'
G+G E minor 7Em7 Csus4Csus4
So, this ain't nothin'
G+G
He said, I learned at an early age
C majorC G+G
There's things that matter and there's things that don't
G+G C majorC
So if you're waiting here for me to cry,
D MajorD
I hate to disappoint you boy, but I won't
G+G
Then he reached down in the rubble
And picked up a photograph
Csus4Csus4
Wiped the dirt off of it
A minorAm E minorEm
With the hand that he still had
He put it to his lips
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
Said, man she was somethin'
G+G
But, this ain't nothin'
Csus4Csus4
He said, I lost my daddy when I was eight years old
G+G
That cave-in at the Kincaid Mine left a big old hole
Csus4Csus4
And I lost my baby brother, my best friend, and my left hand
G+G Csus4Csus4 G+G
In a no win situation in a place called Vietnam
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
And last year I watched my lovin' wife
Csus4Csus4 G+G
Of fifty years, waste away and die
A minorAm E minor 7Em7 Csus4Csus4 D MajorD
We were holding hands, as her heart of gold stopped pumpin'
G+G
So, this ain't nothin'
C majorC G+G D MajorD
He said this ain't nothin' that time won't erase
C majorC D MajorD
And this ain't nothin' money can't replace
E minorEm D MajorD
He said, you sit and watch your lovin' wife
C majorC G+G
Of fifty years, fightin' for her life
A minorAm E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Then you hold her hand 'til that heart of gold stops pumpin'
Yeah, boy that's somethin'
G+G C majorC
So, this ain't nothin'
G+G C majorC G+G
No, this ain't nothin
