Verse 1:

Dm I bought a bourgeoise house in the Hollywood hills With a truckload of hundred thousand dollar bills Man came by to hook up my cable TV We settled in for the night my baby and me Am G We switched 'round and 'round 'til half-past dawn: Dm There was fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Dm Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
?

Verse 2:

Dm Well now home entertainment was my baby's wish So I hopped into town for a satellite dish I tied it to the top of my Japanese car I came home and I pointed it out into the stars Am G A message came back from the great beyond: Dm There's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Dm ?Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Middle 8 Dm G F Well we might'a made some friends with some billionaires C Cm We might'a got all nice and friendly if we'd made it upstairs Am Gm All I got was a note that said, 'Bye-bye, John Dm Our love's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on,' ?
Dm ?Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on

Verse 3:

Dm So I bought a .44 magnum, it was solid steel cast And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast ?'Til my TV lay in pieces there at my feet And they busted me for disturbin' the almighty peace Am G Judge said, 'What you got in your defense son?' Dm ?'Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on,'
Dm ?Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Outro Am I can see by your eyes, friend, you're just about gone Dm Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
