Intro:    C5  Bb5  F5      C5


Verse:

C5         Bb5
Say a word for Jimmy Brown
F5                   C5
He ain't got nothing at all
C5          Bb5
Not a shirt right of his back
F5                   C5
He ain't got nothing at all
C5              Bb5
And say a word for Ginger Brown
F5               C5
Walks with his head down to the ground
C5                 Bb5
Took the shoes right of his feet
F5               C5
To poor boy right out in the street


Chorus:

C5
And this is what he said
C5       Bb5
Oh sweet nuthin'
F5                     C5
She ain't got nothing at all
C5       Bb5
Oh sweet nuthin'
F5                    C5
She ain't got nothing at all

Say a word for Polly May
She can't tell the night from the day
They threw her out in the street
But just like a cat she landed on her feet
And say a word for Joanna Love
She ain't got nothing at all
'Cause everyday she falls in love
And every night she falls when she does

She said
Oh sweet nuthin'
You know she ain't got nothing at all
Oh sweet nutin'
She ain't got nothing at all

Oh let me hear you!

Say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't got nothing at all
Not a shirt right of his back
He ain't got nothing at all
And say a word for Ginger Brown
Walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes right of his feet
To poor boy right out in the street

And this is what he said
Oh sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all
Oh sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all
She ain't got nothing at all
Oh sweet nuthin'

She ain't got nothing at all
She ain't got nothing at all
etc.

I often wonder how beautiful three chords can be...
