D A G
People just ain't no good
D A G
I think that's well understood
D A G
You can see it everywhere you look
A
People just ain't no good
D A G
We were married under cherry trees
D A G
Under blossom we made our vows
D A G
All the blossoms come sailing down
A
Through the streets and through the playgrounds
D A G
The sun would stream on the sheets
D A G
Awoken by the morning bird
D A G
We'd buy the Sunday newspapers
A
And never read a single word
D A G
People they ain't no good
D A G
People they ain't no good
D A G
People they ain't no good
D A G
Seasons came, seasons went
D A G
The winter stripped the blossoms bare
D A G
A different tree now lines the streets
A
Shaking its fists in the air
D A G
The winter slammed us like a fist
D A G
The windows rattling in the gales
D A G
To which she drew the curtains
A
Made out of her wedding veils
D A G
People they ain't no good
D A G
People they ain't no good
D A G
People they ain't no good
D G
To our love send a dozen white lilies
D G
To our love send a coffin of wood
D G
To our love let all the pink-eyed pigeons coo
Em A
That people they just ain't no good
D G
To our love send back all the letters
D G
To our love a valentine of blood
D G
To our love let all the jilted lovers cry
Em A
That people they just ain't no good
D A G
It ain't in their hearts they're bad
D A G
They can comfort you, some even try
D A G
They nurse you when you're ill of health
A
They bury you when you go and die
D A G
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
D A G
They'd stick by you if they could
D A G
But that's just bullshit
A
People just ain't no good
D A G
People they ain't no good
D A G
People they ain't no good
D A G
People they ain't no good
D A G
People they ain't no good
