People just

C

ain't no good

G

F

I think that's well

C

understood

G

F

You can see it every

C

where you look

G

F

People just ain't no

G

good

We were married under

C

cherry trees

G

F

Under blossom we

C

made our vows

G

F

All the blossoms come

C

sailing down

G

F

Through the streets and through the

G

playgrounds

The sun would stream

C

on the sheets

G

F

Awoken by the

C

morning bird

G

F

We'd buy the Sunday

C

newspapers

G

F

And never read a single

G

word

People they

C

ain't

G

no

F

good

People they

C

ain't

G

no

F

People they

C

Seasons came,

C

seasons went

G

F

The winter stripped the

C

blossoms bare

G

F

A different tree now

C

lines the streets

G

F

Shaking its fists in the

G

air

The winter slammed us

C

like a fist

G

F

The windows rattling

C

in the gales

G

F

To which she drew the

C

curtains

G

F

Made out of her wedding

G

veils

People they

C

People they

C

F

good at

G

all

To our

C

love send a dozen white

F

lilies

To our

C

love send a coffin of

F

wood

To our

C

love let all the pink-eyed pigeons

F

coo

That people they just ain't no

G

good

To our

C

love send back all the

F

letters

To our

C

love a valentine of

F

blood

To our

C

love let all the jilted

F

lovers cry

That people they just ain't no

G

good

It ain't that in their

C

hearts they're bad

G

F

They can comfort you, some

C

even try

G

F

They nurse you when you're

C

ill of health

G

F

They bury you when you go and

G

die

It ain't that in their

C

hearts they're bad

G

F

They'd stick by you if th

C

ey could

G

F

But that's just

C

bullshit b
