Nobody likes sad songs    (video)

 

   Em                                               C

1.       You've seen the way I entertain a crowd,

G                 Em                       C

    I used to pack 'em in from miles around.

G                             Em                         C

    And I played the happy songs that made them smile,

Am                                                            D7

    why'd you wanna go and change my style.

 

                       G                     C

Nobody likes sad songs, the ones about goodbyes,

G                        Em                        C                  D

    songs about broken hearts with tears in your eyes.

                       G                      C

Nobody likes sad songs, but since you went away,

G                    Em                  D             G

    seems like sad songs are all I can play.

   Em                                                          C

2.       The crowd gets restless and they drift away,

G           Em                       C

    lately no one wants to hear me play.

G             Em                - C

    I try to do the songs         I used to do,

Am                                   D7

    ah, but then I think of you !

 

+  CHORUS       +  C - G  - GDEm

 

   Em                                                   C

3.     The boss just told me, Ronnie, things aren't going well.

G                  Em            - C

    He's gotta let me go,            I can tell.

G               - Em                                C

    He said,          “What happened, son ? You had it made.

Am                                                    D7

     Why'd you change the way you play ?       +  CHORUS (2x) ....
