57 Channels And Nothing On Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm]I bo[C]ught[Dm] a[C][Dm][C][Dm][C][Dm]
bourgeois house in the Hollywood hills
With a truckload of hundred
[C]thousand [Dm]dollar bill[C]s
[Dm]Man came by to hook up my cable TV
[C]We [Dm]settled in for the night
my baby and me
[C]We [Am]switched 'round and
'round 'til [G]half- past dawn
There was [Dm]fifty- [C]sev[Dm]en channels
and nothin' [C]on[Dm]
[C][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[C]Well now[Dm] home entertainment
was my baby's wish
So I hopped into town for a satellite dish
I tied it to the top of my Japanese [C]car
[Dm]I came home and I pointed
it out into the stars
[C]A m[Dm]essag[Am]e came back
from [Gsus4]the great beyond
[G]There's fif[Dm]ty- seven channels and
[C]not[Dm]hin' on
[C][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[C]Well [Gsus4]we might'a made some[F]
friends with some billion[C]aires
[F]We might'a got all[Dm] nice and friendly
[C]If [Dm]we'd made it upstairs
All I got was a note that said
"Bye- [G]bye John
Our love is [Dm]fifty- seven channels
and nothin' on"
[C][Dm]

[Verse 4]
So I bought a .44 mag[C]num
it was [Dm]solid steel cast
And in the blessed name of
Elvis well I just let it blast
'Til my TV lay in pieces there at my feet
And they busted me for disturbin'
the almighty peace
Judge said [Am]"What you got in your
defense [Gsus4]son?"[Dm]
"Fifty- seven channels and nothin' on"
I can see [Am]by your eyes friend
you're [Gsus4]just about gone
[Dm]Fifty- seven channels and nothin' on...

[Outro 1]
Fifty- seven channels and nothin'
[Dm]
