verse 1,2,3
B5 A5 E5 A5 B5
she hit town like a rose in bloom, smellin sweet said sweet perfume
A5 E5 A5 D
the colour faded and the petals died, down in the city no one cried
E5(7) E E5(7) E
in the streets the garbage lies protected by a million flies
B5 A5 E5
the roaches so big you know that they got bones
E6 E E5 E6 E E5 E6 E5
theY moved in and made a tenement home
CHORUS:
A5 B5 A5 B A B A A
i said nice boys don't play rock and roll
B5 A5 E5
nice boys don't play rock and roll i'm not a nice boy
A5 B5 A5 B A B A A
i said nice boys don't play rock and roll
B5 A5 E5
nice boys don't play rock and roll i'm not a nice boy and i never was
