Ain't No Rest For The Wicked
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
| Am | Am G | Am | Am G |
Ooh. Ooh, ooh Ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh Ooh. Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Am C
I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye
Dm G Em
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me ..
Am C
She said "I've never seen a man who looks so all alone,
Dm Am G
Oh you could use a little company ..
Am C
And if you pay the right price your evening will be nice,
Dm G Em
And you can go and send me on my way" ..
Am C
You're such a sweet young thing, why did you do this to yourself?
Dm Am
She looked at me and she said,
[Chorus]
Am C G
"No, no, there ain't no rest for the wicked ..
Am C G
Money don't grow on trees ..
Am C G
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
Am C G
There ain't nothing in this world for free ..
Am C G
I know I can't slow down, I can't hold back
Am C G
Though you know, I wish I could ..
Am C G
No, there ain't no rest for the wicked ..
Am C G
Until we close our eyes for good" ..
[Verse 2]
Am C
Not even fifteen minutes later I'm still walking down the street
Dm G Em
I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight ..
Am C
And then he swept up from behind, he put a gun up to my head
Dm G Em
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight ..
Am C
He said, "Give me all you've got. I want your money not your life
Dm G Em
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice" ..
Am C
I said, "Take my cash, but first I gotta ask
Dm Am
What made you live this kind of life?" And he said,
[Chorus]
Am C G
"No, no, there ain't no rest for the wicked ..
Am C G
Money don't grow on trees ..
Am C G
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
Am C G
There ain't nothing in this world for free ..
Am C G
I know I can't slow down, I can't hold back
Am C G
Though you know, I wish I could ..
Am C G
No, there ain't no rest for the wicked ..
Am
Until we close our eyes for good"
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
[Verse 3]
Am C
Well, now a couple hours passed and I was sitting in my house
Dm G Em
The day was winding down and coming to an end ..
Am C
So I turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news
Dm G Em
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend ..
Am C
I saw a preacher man in cuffs taken money from the church
Dm G Em
Stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills ..
Am C
But I can't say much 'cause I know we're all the same
Dm Am
We all need to satisfy those thrills.
[Chorus]
Am C G
No, no, there ain't no rest for the wicked ..
Am C G
Money don't grow on trees ..
Am C G
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
Am C G
There ain't nothing in this world for free ..
Am C G
I know I can't slow down, I can't hold back
Am C G
Though you know, I wish I could ..
Am C G
No, there ain't no rest for the wicked ..
Am
Until we close our eyes for good
