I Cant Have Nothin Nice

G                       C
Four by four Chevrolet, chick magnet
 all the way
        G                        
Kept it armor-alled and waxed and 
     C
shined, and buffed
           G
Got a good friend down at the 
Goodyear
       C
We get together, talk tires and 
drink beer
             G                     
He gave me a good deal on some new 
                  C
wheels for my new truck
      D                      
I was trying em out when some 
                  C
adolescent in a Trans Am
D                                   
 C        N.C
Ran a red light and all I heard was 
"Bam!"... Damn

[Chorus]
G       F            C
I cant have nothin nice
G           F      C
Worked hard all my life
      G
Every time I get a piece of the pie
       C
If somebody dont snatch it or take 
em a bite
   G                               
It slides right off the plate into 
              C
the beans and rice
G       F           C
I cant have nothin' nice
    F       C            G
No, I cant have nothin' nice

[Verse]
G
I saved up and bought me a place
Continues after the ad
  C
A fixerup out on the lake
        G                       
Gave it tender love and care and 
       C
elbow grease
        G
I met a girl down at the marina,
          C
We talked bait and drank margaritas
              G                  
She gave me a lip lock out on the 
                           C
boat dock, and she hooked me
D                              
Before too long, we were hummin' 
           C
along to wedding bells
        D                        
Then she kicked me out and put my 
             C
house up for sale
NC
Well, hell.

[Chorus]
G       F            C
I can't have nothin' nice
G           F      C
Worked hard all my life
      G
Every time I get a piece of the pie
       C
If somebody don't snatch it or take 
em a bite
   G                               
It slides right off the plate into 
              C
the beans and rice
G       F            C
I can't have nothin' nice
    F       C            G
No, I can't have nothin' nice

[Bridge]
        G
I got a brand new Chevy in the 
junkyard
  C
A memory of a house and a broken 
heart
    G                              
And I sure hope my dreams dont come
       C
 true twice

[Verse]
G       F            C
I can't have nothin' nice
G           F      C
Worked hard all my life
      G
Every time I get a piece of the pie
       C
If somebody don't snatch it or take 
em a bite
   G                               
It slides right off the plate into 
              C
the beans and rice
G       F            C
I can't have nothin' nice
    F       C            G
No, I can't have nothin' nice
