Capo on 3, Standard Tuning
Intro: E G A x4
E
I was walking down the street,
G
When out the corner of my eye
A G D
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
E
She said "I've never seen a man
G
Who looks so all alone,
A G D
Could you use a little company?
E
If you pay the right price
G
Your evening will be nice,
A G D
And you can go and send me on my way."
E
I said "You're such a sweet young thing
G
Why you do this to yourself?"
A G D
She looked at me and this is what she said,
E G A D
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
E G A D
Money don't grow on trees.
E
I got bills to pay,
G A D
I got mouths to feed,
E G A D
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
E
I know I can't slow down,
G A D
I can't hold back,
E G A D
Though you know, I wish I could.
E G A D
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
E G A D
Until we close our eyes for good".
E
Not even fifteen minutes later
G
I'm still walking down the street,
A G D
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
E
Then he walks up from behind
G
And puts a gun up to my head,
A G D
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.
E
He said "Give me all you've got
G
I want your money not your life,
A G D
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."
E
I said "You can have my cash
G
But first you know I got to ask
A G D
What made you want to live this kind of life?"
E G A D
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
E G A D
Money don't grow on trees.
E
I got bills to pay,
G A D
I got mouths to feed,
E G A D
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
E
I know I can't slow down,
G A D
I can't hold back,
E G A D
Though you know, I wish I could.
E G A D
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
E G A D
Until we close our eyes for good".
E
Now a couple hours passed
G
And I was sitting at my house,
A G D
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
E
So I turned on the TV
G
And flipped it over to the news,
A G D
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.
E G
I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church,
A G D
He's got this bank account with righteous dollar bills.
E
But even still I can't say much
G
Because I know we're all the same,
A G D
Oh yes we've all got to satisfy those thrills.
E G A D
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
E G A D
Money don't grow on trees.
E
I got bills to pay,
G A D
I got mouths to feed,
E G A D
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
E
I know I can't slow down,
G A D
I can't hold back,
E G A D
Though you know, I wish I could.
E G A D
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
E Em
Until we close our eyes for good
