[Intro] Dm [Verse 1]
Dm
I bought a bourgeoise house in the Hollywood hills
With a truckload of hundred thousand dollar bills Man came by to hook up my cable TV We settled in for the night my baby and me
             Am                     G
We switched 'round and 'round 'til half-past dawn:

        Dm
There was fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
[Chorus]
Dm
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on ‎ [Verse 2]
      Dm
Well now home entertainment was my baby's wish
So I hopped into town for a satellite dish I tied it to the top of my Japanese car I came home and I pointed it out into the stars
   Am                          G
A message came back from the great beyond:

    Dm
There's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
[Chorus]
Dm
‎Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on [Middle 8]
Dm               G                                  F
Well we might'a made some friends with some billionaires

                               C              Cm
We might'a got all nice and friendly if we'd made it upstairs

     Am                          Gm
All I got was a note that said, "Bye-bye, John

Dm
Our love's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on,"
‎ [Chorus]
Dm
‎Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on [Verse 3]
Dm
So I bought a .44 magnum, it was solid steel cast
And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast ‎'Til my TV lay in pieces there at my feet And they busted me for disturbin' the almighty peace
    Am                              G
Judge said, "What you got in your defense son?"

Dm
‎"Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on,"
[Chorus]
Dm
‎Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on [Outro]
Am
I can see by your eyes, friend, you're just about gone

Dm
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Dm
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
