[Intro]
G C G D C D G
[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
