People Ain't No Good

                     C       G        F
People just ain't no good
                         C       G        F
I think that's well understood
                              C       G        F
You can see it everywhere you look
                          G       G7
People just ain't no good

                             C       G        F
We were married under cherry trees
                           C       G        F
Under blossom we made our vows
                           C       G        F
All the blossoms come sailing down
                                       G       G7
Through the streets and through the playgrounds

                               C       G        F
The sun would stream on the sheets
                        C       G        F
Awoken by the morning bird
                        C       G        F
We'd buy the Sunday newspapers
                                G        G7
And never read a single word

              C       G        F
People they ain't no good
              C       G        F
People they ain't no good
              C       G        F        G        G7
People they ain't no good

                      C       G        F
Seasons came, seasons went
                            C       G        F
The winter stripped the blossoms bare
                              C       G        F
A different tree now lines the streets
                             G        G7
Shaking its fists in the air

                        C       G        F
The winter slammed us like a fist
                        C       G        F
The windows rattling in the gales
                        C       G        F
To which she drew the curtains
                           G        G7
Made out of her wedding veils

              C       G        F
People they ain't no good
              C       G        F
People they ain't no good
              C       G        F        G        G7
People they ain't no good

               C                 F
To our love send a dozen white lilies
               C                 F
To our love send a coffin of wood
               C                 F
To our love let all the pink-eyed pigeons coo
               Dm                 G
That people they just ain't no good

               C                 F
To our love send back all the letters
               C                 F
To our love a valentine of blood
               C                 F
To our love let all the jilted lovers cry
         Dm                          G
That people they just ain't no good

                           C       G        F
It ain't in their hearts they're bad
                                 C       G        F
They can comfort you, some even try
                                   C       G        F
They nurse you when you're ill of health
                            G        G7
They bury you when you go and die

                                  C       G        F
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
                             C       G        F
They'd stick by you if they could
                   C       G        F
But that's just bullshit
                        G        G7
People just ain't no good

               C       G        F
