Verse 1
(G major) She was a girl from a (D major) one-horse town,
town, (C major) the only place for (G major) miles around, (D major) (G major)
Cutting hair in the modern (D major) style,
(C major) putting in the nine (G major) to (D major) five,
But (C major) every night it was
the (G major) same old dream, (C major)
On the cover of a magazine, (G major)
(D major) She (C major) looked good,
but it could (G major) never come true,
'Cause noth (C major) ing ever
(D major) happens round (E minor) here,
Noth (C major) ing ever (D major) happens
round (G major) (E minor) (G major) here;

round (G major) here;

noth (D major) ing ever happens round (E flat major) here;
