[Verse 1]
Amaj7 D
Watching Nicky turn from a girl into a wife
Amaj7 D
Is like watching all the life drain out of Nicky
Amaj7 D
Seventeen last June, thirty-four this May
Amaj7 D
What else can I say about you, Nicky?
[Chorus]
Amaj7
Oh no, she's not painting any more
D
Spends the evenings locked indoors, and now,
Amaj7 D
Something's just not going right for Nicky - oh yeah!
Amaj7 D
Her mother said she'd mind the kid, and when it came she never did - now,
Amaj7 D
You're not smiling anymore, no Nicky
Amaj7 D
Oh! no no no no no no, Nicky
[Verse 2]
Amaj7 D
I remember we went out and got stuck under a bridge
Amaj7 D
The kids were throwing stones at me and Nicky
Amaj7
If I could see her now,
D
I'd shout across and say:
Amaj7 D
"Hey Nicky - run away, do it now Nicky"
[Chorus]
Amaj7
Because she's not painting any more
D
Spends the evenings locked indoors, and now,
Amaj7 D
Something's just not going right for Nicky - oh yeah!
Amaj7 D
Her mother said she'd mind the kid, and when it came she never did - now,
Amaj7 D
You're not smiling anymore, no Nicky
G D
Oh! no no no no no no, Nicky
[Bridge]
E D
Oh! Nicky
G D
Oh! Nicky
E D
Nicky
[Outro]
Amaj7 D
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma ma-ma ma-ma-ma-ma
Amaj7 D
Ma-ma ma-ma-ma ma-ma-ma ma-ma-ma
Amaj7
Oh! she's not painting any more
D
Spends the evenings locked indoors, and now
Amaj7 D
Something's just not going right for Nicky
Amaj7
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, Nicky
D
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma ma-ma, Nicky
Amaj7
Oh! whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa! oh! Nicky
D
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma ma-ma, Nicky
Amaj7
Oh! yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah! yeah! yeah! yeah!
N.C.
Nicky
