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