INTRO: G C G C G
                      D
She was a girl from a one horse town

C                  G      D      G
The only place for miles around

                    D
Cutting hair in the modern style

C              G       D      
Putting in the nine to five

     C                      G             C
But, every night it was the same old drea-eam

                  G   D
On the cover of a magazine

   C                          G
She looked good, but it could never come true

       C            D             Em
'cause nothing ever happens round here

C            D             G
Nothing ever happens round here

                    D 
She had a boyfriend in the town

C                      G        D      G
He spent his days just messing around

                 D
Stick shifts and steering wheels

C              G     D      
Motorbikes and automobiles

    C                       G            C
And, every night it was the same old thi-ing

                    G         D
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks

C              G
Shoot pool and talk about girls

    C            D             Em
And nothing ever happens round here

C            D             G
Nothing ever happens round here
CHORUS:
                                  C
They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing

G            D             G
Nothing ever happens round here

                        C
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing

G            D             G
Nothing ever happens round here

             D
One day in a local bar

C                         G             D     G
She heard a movie man was looking for a star

                     D
And everybody in the whole damn town

C               G       D      
Got the call to come on down

    C                  G          C
And, when she walked into the roo-oom

                 G           D
Every heart went boom, boom, boom, ("Who's that girl?")

C                         G
"She's exactly what we're looking for!"

    C            D             Em
But nothing ever happens round here

C            D            G
Nothing ever happens round here
CHORUS:
                                  C
They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing

G            D             G
Nothing ever happens round here

                        C
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing

G            D             Eb
Nothing ever happens round here
BRIDGE: And so she took a screen test
Bb
No doubt that she was the best

F                            D
The camera fell in love with her

Eb                         D
Before she knew it she was on the way

                        G    C  G  C  G
To make that dream come true

                    D
Now she's living in Hollywood

C                 G       D     G
And everything is looking good

                     D
She thinks about the folks back home

C                 G    D      
And her boyfriend all alone

    C                 G                    C
But, every night it's still the same old thing

                    G         D
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks

C              G
Shoot pool and talk about girls

    C            D             Em
And nothing ever happens round here

C            D             G
Nothing ever happens round here
CHORUS:
                                  C
They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing

G            D             G
Nothing ever happens round here

                        C
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing

G            D             G
Nothing ever happens round here

                        C
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing

G            D             G
Nothing ever happens round here

                        C
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing

G            D             G
Nothing ever happens round here
