Ain't No Rest for the Wicked
by Cage the Elephant
(Postmodern Jukebox vintage jazz version)
Intro:
A A7 D F#dim E
Verse 1:
A
I was walking down the street
C
When out the corner of my eye
D F#dim E7
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
A
She said, I've never seen a man
F#m
Who looks so all alone
F7 E7 A
Uh, could you use a little company?
A
If you pay the right price
C
Your evening will be nice
D F#dim E7
And you can go and send me on my way
A
I said, "You're such a sweet young thing
F#m
Why'd you do this to yourself "
F7 E7 A
She looked at me and this is what she said
Chorus:
A F#m Bm E7
Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked
A F#m Bm E7
Money don't grow on trees
A A7
I got bills to pay
D D7
I got mouths to feed
E
There ain't nothing in this world for free
A F#m
I know I can't slow down
Bm E7
I can't hold back
A
Though you know
F#m Bm E
I wish I could
A A7 D F#dim
Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked
E
Until we close our eyes for good
Verse 2:
A
Not even 15 minutes later
C
I'm still walking down the street
D F#dim E7
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
A
And then he swept up from behind
F#m
He put a gun up to my head
F7 E7 A
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight
A
He said, "Give me all you've got
C
I want your money not your life
D F#dim E7
But if you try to make a move, I won't think twice"
A
I told him, "You can have my cash
F#m
But first you know I got to ask
F7 E7 A
What made you want to live this kind of life "
Chorus:
A F#m Bm E7
He said, there ain't no rest for the wicked
A F#m Bm E7
Money don't grow on trees
A A7
I got bills to pay
D D7
I got mouths to feed
E
There ain't nothing in this world for free
A F#m
I know I can't slow down
Bm E7
I can't hold back
A
Though you know
F#m Bm E
I wish I could
A A7 D F#dim
Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked
E
Until we close our eyes for good
Solo:
D D7 F#m B7 C7 E7
Verse 3:
A
Well, now a couple hours passed
C
And I was sitting at my house
D F#dim E7
The day was winding down and coming to an end
A
And so I turned on the TV
F#m
And flipped it over to the news
F7 E7 A
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
A
I saw a preacher man in cuffs
C
He'd taken money from the church
D F#dim E7
He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
A
But even still I can't say much
F#m
Because I know we're all the same
F7 E7 A
Oh yes, we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
Chorus:
A F#m Bm E7
Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked
A F#m Bm E7
Money don't grow on trees
A A7
I got bills to pay
D D7
I got mouths to feed

There ain't nothing in this world for free
