Verse 

E                               B      
Heard the story of the world last night 
C#m                                     A     
Where the kids don't read, and the kids don't write 
B                                             C#m      
Where the girls don't sing, and the boys don't fight 
A                             B     
and no one believes anything 

Shut my eyes and I took myself there 
Threw off my shoes, felt the wind in my hair 
Put down my drink, and pulled up a chair 
Felt the sun go down on me 

  

Pre Chorus 

A     
We're drinking holy water 
E     
Sleep with your sons and daughters 
A     
Dancing the english way 
B     
And it won't be the same 



[Refrão]
E            A            B   
Ahhhhh, No rest for the wicked 
E                    A             B   
(Yeah Yeah Yeah)  No peace for the crooked 
C#m                   A        B     E     
Yeah Yeah Yeah   Nothing left for me
