AIN'T NO REST FOR THE WICKED CHORDS
[Start] [Intro] [Verse] G C G G7 ■ ■ ■ I was walkin' down the street when out the corner of my eye C G7 I saw a pretty little thing approachin' me G Bb She said I never seen a man who looked so all alone C E7 G7 Oh could you use a little company ■ G Bb If you pay the right price your evening will be nice C And you can go and send me on my way G E7 I said You're such a sweet young thing oh why you do this to yourself C G She looked at me and this is what she said [Chorus] C Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked G C Money don't grow on trees G C I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed G C There ain't nothin' in this world for free G C Oh no I can't slow down I can't hold back G C Though you know I wish I could G Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked G Until we close our eyes for good [Verse] Bb Not even fifteen minutes later I'm still walkin' down the street C Bb When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight G Bb And then he swept up from behind he put a gun up to my head C Bb He made it clear he wasn't lookin' for a fight G7 Bb He said Give me all you've got I want your money not your life C But if you try to make a move I won't think twice G G7 I told him You can have my cash but first you know I gotta ask C Cmaj7 G What made you wanna live this kind of life [Chorus] C He said There ain't no rest for the wicked G C Money don't grow on trees G I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed C There ain't nothin' in this world for free G C Oh no I can't slow down I can't hold back G Though you know I wish I could G Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked C Until we close our eyes for good [Inst] G7 Bb Yeah Well now a couple hours passed and I was sitting in my house [Verse] C C7 C The day was winding down and coming to an end G7 G Bb And so I turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news C And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend G Bb I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church C Bb He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills G Bb But even still I can't say much because I know we're all the same Cmaj7 Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills [Chorus] G G7 You know there ain't no rest for the wicked G C Money don't grow on trees G We got bills to pay we got mouths to feed C There ain't nothin' in this world for free G C Oh no we can't slow down we can't hold back G Though you know we wish we could C Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked G Until we close our eyes for good [End]
