Verse 
E 
He was standin' in the rubble 
      A                                E 
Of an old farmhouse outside Birmingham 

When some on-the-scene reporter 
A                                      B7 
Stuck a camera in the face of that old man 

          E                                   E7 
He said, "Tell the folks, please mister, what are you gonna do 
A 
Now that this twister has taken all that's dear to you" 
E                                                       B7 
The old man just smiled and said, "Boy, let me tell you somethin' 
           E 
This ain't nothin'" 

A 
He said, "I lost my daddy when I was eight years old 
E 
That cave-in at the Kincaid Mine left a big ol' hole 
A 
And I lost my baby brother, my best friend, and my left hand 
E 
In a no-win situation in a place called Vietnam" 

C#m                          A 
"And last year, I watched my lovin' wife 
C#m            A 
Of fifty years waste away and die 
C#m                          B             A              B7 
And I held her hand 'til her heart of gold stopped pumpin' 
E 
So, this ain't nothin'"

Verse 
E 
He said, "I learned at an early age 
A                                                   E 
There's things that matter, and there's things that don't 

So if you're waitin' here for me to cry 
A                                   B7 
I hate to disappoint you boy, but I won't" 

E                                             E7 
Then he reached down in the rubble and picked up a photograph 
A 
Wiped the dirt off of it with the hand that he still had 
E                                               B7 
He put it to his lips and he said, "Man she was somethin' 
                E 
But, this ain't nothin'" 

A 
He said, "I lost my daddy when I was eight years old 
E 
That cave-in at the Kincaid Mine left a big ol' hole 
A 
And I lost my baby brother, my best friend, and my left hand 
E 
In a no-win situation in a place called Vietnam" 

C#m                          A 
"And last year, I watched my lovin' wife 
C#m            A 
Of fifty years waste away and die 
C#m                            B             A              B7 
We were holdin' hands when her heart of gold stopped pumpin' 
               E 
So, this ain't nothin'"

          A                             E 
He said, "This ain't nothin' time won't erase 
    A                              B7 
And this ain't nothin' money can't replace" 

          C#m                    A 
He said, "You sit and watch your lovin' wife 
C#m            A 
Of fifty years fightin' for her life 
C#m                             B             A            B7 
Then you hold her hand 'til her heart of gold stops pumpin' 

Yeah, boy that's somethin'" 

                E      A 
"So, this ain't nothin' 
               E       A 
No, this ain't nothin'"
