C G F People just ainʼt no good C G F I think thatʼs well understood C G F You can see it everywhere you look G People just ainʼt no good We were married under cherry trees Under blossom we made our vows All the blossoms come sailing down Through the streets and through the playgrounds The sun would stream on the sheets Awoken by the morning bird Weʼd buy the Sunday newspapers And never read a single word People they ainʼt no good People they ainʼt no good People they ainʼt no good Seasons came, Seasons went The winter stripped the blossoms bare a different tree now lines the streets Shaking its fists in the air The winter slammed us like a fist The windows rattling in the gales To which she drew the curtains Made out of her wedding veils People they ainʼt no good People they ainʼt no good People they ainʼt no good at all 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 aal the pink-eyed pigeons coo G That people they just ainʼt no good To our love send back all the letters To our love a valentine of blood To our love let all the jilted lovers cry That people they just ainʼt no good C G F It ainʼt that in their hearts theyʼre bad C G F They can comfort you, some even try C G F They nurse you when youʼre ill of health G They bury you when you go and die It ainʼt that in their hearts theyʼre bad Theyʼd stick by you if they could But thatʼs just bullshit People just ainʼt no good People they ainʼt no good People they ainʼt no good People they ainʼt no good People they ainʼt no good at all
