[Verse 1]
G       C              G                  D
Back in 19-hundred and seventy-nine, well I moved back to my hometown
C                       D                                G
Just graduated college, try to teach the kids a thing or two
G                   C                         G                         C
New at life’s game, wet behind the ears, spent most of my nights at the barroom 
drinking beer
     D                G                    C
The perfect thing for young, single man to do
 
[Verse 2]
G                               C                    G                     D
Well I fell in love with a girl out of my league and I knew it would never work 
for me
C                             D                  G
It wasn’t too long before she left me for a rich man
G                              C                  G                       C
She said I’m sorry it’s got to be like this and I hope some day we can be friends
    D                  G                C
But There is something you need to understand.
 
 
[Chorus]
C                       G              D               C
She said, you ain’t got nothing boy if you ain’t got a record
D                            G
One climbing up on the chart with a bullet on
C                       G              D               C
She said, you ain’t got nothing boy if you ain’t got a record
D                                       G
Playing in the barroom every night, it’s not the kind of life that turns me on
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                            C               G                           D
So I decided I’d call her up on the phone, I thought we needed some time alone
C               D             G
Believe you owe me that courtesy
    G                     C                 G                 D
It’s not that I wanted to reconcile, I just needed to look into those eyes 
    C               D                     G
and hear for myself That she did not love me
 
[Verse 4]
G                      C               G                       D
But imagine much to my surprise when I looked into her tearful eyes
         C                      D                G
She said things could have been different if you changed
G                        C             G                 D
But love can’t pay for a condo rent or pay for an aspen skiing trip
    C            D                  G
and love’s grown damn tired of your dreams
 
 
[Chorus]
C                       G              D               C
She said, you ain’t got nothing boy if you ain’t got a record
D                            G
One climbing up on the chart with a bullet on
C                       G              D               C
She said, you ain’t got nothing boy if you ain’t got a record
D                                       G
Playing in the barroom every night, it’s not the kind of life that turns me on
 
 
[Verse 5]
G                        C                           G              D
Well I read in the paper she married a rich man, big social event, Ha-waiian tan,
C                 D                    G
congratulations in order and fare thee well
G                   C                    G                        D
Now she’s got her a rich man at home and I’m still in the barroom singing songs
C                   D              G
Using her memory to pen me another tale
 
 
[Chorus]
C                       G              D               C
She said, you ain’t got nothing boy if you ain’t got a record
D                            G
One climbing up on the chart with a bullet on
C                       G              D               C
She said, you ain’t got nothing boy if you ain’t got a record
D                                       G
Playing in the barroom every night, it’s not the kind of life that turns me on
D                                       G
Playing in the barroom every night, it’s not the kind of life that turns me on
