Intro: GCGCGD
She was a girl from a one horse town
CGDG
The only place for miles around
D
Cutting hair in the modern style
CGD
Putting in the nine to five
CGC
But, every night it was the same old drea-eam
GD
On the cover of a magazine
CG
She looked good, but it could never come true
CDEm
'cause nothing ever happens round here
CDG
Nothing ever happens round here
D
She had a boyfriend in the town
CGDG
He spent his days just messing around
D
Stick shifts and steering wheels
CGD
Motorbikes and automobiles
CGC
And, every night it was the same old thi-ing
GD
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks
CG
Shoot pool and talk about girls
CDEm
And nothing ever happens round here
CDG
Nothing ever happens round here
Chorus:
C
They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing
GDG
Nothing ever happens round here
C
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing
GDG
Nothing ever happens round here
D
One day in a local bar
CGDG
She heard a movie man was looking for a star
D
And everybody in the whole damn town
CGD
Got the call to come on down
CGC
And, when she walked into the roo-oom
GD
Every heart went boom, boom, boom, ("Who's that girl?")
CG
"She's exactly what we're looking for!"
CDEm
But nothing ever happens round here
CDG
Nothing ever happens round here
Chorus:
C
They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing
GDG
Nothing ever happens round here
C
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing
GDD#
Nothing ever happens round here
Bridge:
And so she took a screen test
A#
No doubt that she was the best
FD
The camera fell in love with her
D#D
Before she knew it she was on the way
GCGCG
To make that dream come true
D
Now she's living in Hollywood
CGDG
And everything is looking good
D
She thinks about the folks back home
CGD
And her boyfriend all alone
CGC
But, every night it's still the same old thing
GD
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks
CG
Shoot pool and talk about girls
CDEm
And nothing ever happens round here
CDG
Nothing ever happens round here
Chorus:
C
They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing
GDG
Nothing ever happens round here
C
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing
GDG
Nothing ever happens round here
C
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing
GDG
Nothing ever happens round here
C
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing
GDG
Nothing ever happens round here
