    People Ain't No Good

  • Artist:

    Nick Cave E The Bad Seeds

D5       A5        G5
People just ain't no good
                         D5       A5        G5
I think that's well understood
                              D5       A5        G5
You can see it everywhere you look
                          A5
People just ain't no good

                             D5       A5        G5
We were married under cherry trees
                           D5       A5        G5
Under blossom we made our vows
                           D5       A5        G5
All the blossoms come sailing down
                                       A5
Through the streets and through the playgrounds

                               D5       A5        G5
The sun would stream on the sheets
                        D5       A5        G5
Awoken by the morning bird
                        D5       A5        G5
We'd buy the Sunday newspapers
                                A5
And never read a single word

              D5       A5        G5
People they ain't no good
              D5       A5        G5
People they ain't no good
              D5       A5        G5
People they ain't no good

                      D5       A5        G5
Seasons came, seasons went
                            D5       A5        G5
The winter stripped the blossoms bare
                              D5       A5        G5
A different tree now lines the streets
                             A5
Shaking its fists in the air

                        D5       A5        G5
The winter slammed us like a fist
                        D5       A5        G5
The windows rattling in the gales
                        D5       A5        G5
To which she drew the curtains
                           A5
Made out of her wedding veils

              D5       A5        G5
People they ain't no good
              D5       A5        G5
People they ain't no good
              D5       A5        G5
People they ain't no good

               D5                 G5
To our love send a dozen white lilies
               D5                 G5
To our love send a coffin of wood
               D5                 G5
To our love let all the pink-eyed pigeons coo
               E5                 A5
That people they just ain't no good

               D5                 G5
To our love send back all the letters
               D5                 G5
To our love a valentine of blood
               D5                 G5
To our love let all the jilted lovers cry
         E5                          A5
That people they just ain't no good

                           D5       A5        G5
It ain't in their hearts they're bad
                                 D5       A5        G5
They can comfort you, some even try
                                   D5       A5        G5
They nurse you when you're ill of health
                            A5
They bury you when you go and die

                                  D5       A5        G5
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
                             D5       A5        G5
They'd stick by you if they could
                   D5       A5        G5
But that's just bullshit
                        A5
People just ain't no good

               D5      A5        G5
People they ain't no good
               D5       A5        G5
People they ain't no good
               D5       A5        G5
People they ain't no good
               D5       A5        G5
People they ain't no good
