Cage the Elephant – Aint No Rest For The Wicked (Ukulele)

          A        
I was walking down the street,

               C
When out the corner of my eye

          D                   C      G
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.

                A
She said "I've never seen a man

      C
Who looks so all alone,

            D          C    G
Could you use a little company?

        A
If you pay the right price

       C
Your evening will be nice,

            D                 C     G
And you can go and send me on my way."

                 A
I said "You're such a sweet young thing

        C           
Why you do this to yourself?"

      D               C                G     
She looked at me and this is what she said,

 A                                C                     
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,

 A                  D
Money don't grow on trees.

   A
I got bills to pay,

       G
I got mouths to feed,

             A                       C 
There ain't nothing in this world for free.

         A
I know I can't slow down,

   D
I can't hold back,

            A             G
Though you know, I wish I could.

          A                    C
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,

         A                  D
Until we close our eyes for good".

         A
Not even fifteen minutes later

         C 
I'm still walking down the street,

            D            C          G 
When I saw a shadow of a man creep outta sight.

       A 
Then he walks up from behind

           C 
And puts a gun up to my head,

          D                 C          G 
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.

         A
He said "Give me all you've got

             C
I want your money not your life,

           D                     C         G
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."

        A
I said "You can have my cash

          C 
But first you know I got to ask

      D             C             G
What made you want to live this kind of life?"

 A                                C                     
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,

 A                  D
Money don't grow on trees.

   A
I got bills to pay,

       G
I got mouths to feed,

             A                       C 
There ain't nothing in this world for free.

         A
I know I can't slow down,

   D
I can't hold back,

            A             G
Though you know, I wish I could.

          A                    C
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,

         A                  D
Until we close our eyes for good".

      A
Now a couple hours passed

          C
And I was sitting at my house,

            D               C         G  
The day was winding down and coming to an end.

     A
So I turned on the TV

       C 
And flipped it over to the news,

         D              C         G  
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.

         A
I saw a preacher man in cuffs 

           C 
He'd taken money from the church,

              D                 C           G 
He's got this bank account with righteous dollar bills.

         A  
But even still I can't say much

         C 
Because I know we're all the same,

       D                C         G     
Oh yes we've all got to satisfy those thrills.

 A                                C                     
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,

 A                  D
Money don't grow on trees.

   A
I got bills to pay,

       G
I got mouths to feed,

             A                       C 
There ain't nothing in this world for free.

         A
I know I can't slow down,

   D
I can't hold back,

            A             G
Though you know, I wish I could.

          A                    C
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,

         A                  D
Until we close our eyes for good".
