G C
Four by four Chevrolet, chick magnet all the way
G C
Kept it armor-alled and waxed and shined, and buffed
G
Got a good friend down at the Goodyear
C
We get together, talk tires and drink beer
G C
He gave me a good deal on some new wheels for my new truck
D C
I was trying em out when some 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 C
It slides right off the plate into 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
C
A fixerup out on the lake
G C
Gave it tender love and care and elbow grease
G
I met a girl down at the marina,
C
We talked bait and drank margaritas
G C
She gave me a lip lock out on the boat dock, and she hooked me
D C
Before too long, we were hummin' along to wedding bells
D C
Then she kicked me out and put my 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 C
It slides right off the plate into 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 C
And I sure hope my dreams dont come 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 C
It slides right off the plate into the beans and rice
G F C
I can't have nothin' nice
F C G
No, I can't have nothin' nice
[Outro]
G F C
I can't have nothin' nice
G F C
Worked hard all my life
G F C
I can't have nothin' nice
F C G
No, I can't have nothin' nice
