Nothing Rhymed Chords

Nothing Rhymed  -  Gilbert O’Sullivan


6/8 |Cm      |G/B     |Cm/Bb     |Ab   Eb   |


     Cm                         G/B 
If I give up the seat I've been saving
        Cm/Bb           Ab 
To some elderly lady or man
     Bb           Bb7
Am I being a good boy
     Bb7            Eb
Am I your pride and joy
       Fm7                          Db   Eb
Mother please if your pleased say I am

       Cm                        G/B
And if while in the course of my duty
  Cm/Bb                  Ab
I perform an unfortunate take
          Bb        Bb7     Bb7      Eb
Would you punish me so, unbelievably so
      Fm7                        Db    Eb
Never again will I make that mistake

     Bbm7      
This feeling inside me could never deny me
    Eb                     Ab
The right to be wrong if I choose
         Abm7                    Eb
And this pleasure I get from say winning a bet
      F       Db    Eb
Is to lose

         Cm                    G/B
When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy
       Cm/Bb                  Ab
Eating more than enough apple pies
       Bb           Bb7                       Eb               Fm7
Will I glance at my screen and see real human beings starve to death
                     Db      Eb
Right in front of my eyes

        Cm                        G/B
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured
        Cm/Bb                 Ab
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost,
        Bb           Bb7                       Eb
Nothing further than proof nothing wilder than youth
        Ab                       Bb       
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine
        G                       Cm
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
        Fm7
Nothing I couldn't say
        Bb7sus4
Nothing why 'cos today
        Eb
Nothing rhymed
