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
