Cage The Elephant - Aint No Rest For The Wicked

ain’t no rest for the wicked by cage the elephant

tuning : dadgbd ( i pulled this tuning from someones tab , but you can just as
effectively play it in drop D without tuning the low E to D ) . as close as i can
tell , a barred 8th fret in this tuning is an A# .

G A# C A# C G
D [ – – – – – 0 – – – – – 0 – – – – – – 0 – – – – – 0 – – – – – – 0 – – – – – 0

intro : you need to slide from the 5th fret to the 8th , then back to the 5th . after
that hit the 8th and 10th creating the A# and C ( x4 )

G A#
i was walking down the street , when out the corner of my eye
C A# C
i saw a pretty little thing approaching me .
G A#
she said “i’ve never seen a man . . . who looks so all alone
C A# C
could you use a little company?
G A#
if you pay the right price , your evening will be nice
C A# C
and you can go and send me on my way . ”
G A#
i said “you’re such a sweet young thing , why you do this to yourself?”
C A# C
she looked at me . . . and this is what she said ,

G A# C
“oh , there ain’t no rest for the wicked ,
G A# C
money don’t grow on trees .
G A# C
i got bills to pay , i got mouths to feed
G A# C
there ain’t nothing in this world for free .
G A# C
i know i can’t slow down , i can’t hold back
G A# C
though you know , i wish i could .
G A# C
no there ain’t no rest for the wicked ,
G A# C
until we close our eyes for good” .

not even fifteen minutes later
i’m still walking down the street ,
when i saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight .
then he walks up from behind
and puts a gun up to my head ,
he made it clear he wasn’t looking for a fight .
he said “give me all you’ve got
i want your money not your life ,
but if you try to make a move i won’t think twice . ”
i said “you can have my cash
but first you know i got to ask
what made you want to live this kind of life?”

he said “there ain’t no rest for the wicked ,
money don’t grow on trees .
i got bills to pay ,
i got mouths to feed ,
there ain’t nothing in this world for free .
i know i can’t slow down ,
i can’t hold back ,
though you know , i wish i could .
no there ain’t no rest for the wicked ,
until we close our eyes for good” .

now a couple hours passed
and i was sitting at my house ,
the day was winding down and coming to an end .
so i turned on the tv
and flipped it over to the news ,
and what i saw i almost couldn’t comprehend .
i saw a preacher man in cuffs he’d taken money from the church ,
he’s got this bank account with righteous dollar bills .
but even still i can’t say much
because i know we’re all the same ,
oh yes we’ve all got to satisfy those thrills .

“oh , there ain’t no rest for the wicked ,
money don’t grow on trees .
we got bills to pay ,
we got mouths to feed ,
there ain’t nothing in this world for free .
i know we can’t slow down ,
we can’t hold back ,
though you know , we wish we could .
no there ain’t no rest for the wicked ,
until we close our eyes for good”
