Intro: G C G C G 
  
                      D 
She was a girl from a one horse town 
C                  G      D      G 
The only place for miles around 
                    D 
Cutting hair in the modern style 
C              G       D       
Putting in the nine to five 
     C                      G             C 
But, every night it was the same old drea-eam 
                  G   D 
On the cover of a magazine 
   C                          G 
She looked good, but it could never come true 
       C            D             Em 
'cause nothing ever happens round here 
C            D             G 
Nothing ever happens round here 
  
  
                    D  
She had a boyfriend in the town 
C                      G        D      G 
He spent his days just messing around 
                 D 
Stick shifts and steering wheels 
C              G     D       
Motorbikes and automobiles 
    C                       G            C 
And, every night it was the same old thi-ing 
                    G         D 
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks 
C              G 
Shoot pool and talk about girls 
    C            D             Em 
And nothing ever happens round here 
C            D             G 
Nothing ever happens round here 
  
    
Chorus: 
                                  C 
They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing 
G            D             G 
Nothing ever happens round here 
                        C 
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing 
G            D             G 
Nothing ever happens round here 
  
  
             D 
One day in a local bar 
C                         G             D     G 
She heard a movie man was looking for a star 
                     D 
And everybody in the whole damn town 
C               G       D       
Got the call to come on down 
    C                  G          C 
And, when she walked into the roo-oom 
                 G           D 
Every heart went boom, boom, boom, ('Who's that girl?') 
C                         G 
'She's exactly what we're looking for!' 
    C            D             Em 
But nothing ever happens round here 
C            D            G 
Nothing ever happens round here 
  
  
Chorus: 
                                  C 
They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing 
G            D             G 
Nothing ever happens round here 
                        C 
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing 
G            D             Eb 
Nothing ever happens round here 
  
  
Bridge: 
And so she took a screen test 
Bb 
No doubt that she was the best 
F                            D 
The camera fell in love with her 
Eb                         D 
Before she knew it she was on the way 
                        G    C  G  C  G 
To make that dream come true 
  
  
                    D 
Now she's living in Hollywood 
C                 G       D     G 
And everything is looking good 
                     D 
She thinks about the folks back home 
C                 G    D       
And her boyfriend all alone 
    C                 G                    C 
But, every night it's still the same old thing 
                    G         D 
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks 
C              G 
Shoot pool and talk about girls 
    C            D             Em 
And nothing ever happens round here 
C            D             G 
Nothing ever happens round here 
  
  
Chorus: 
                                  C 
They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing 
G            D             G 
Nothing ever happens round here 
                        C 
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing 
G            D             G 
Nothing ever happens round here 
                        C 
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing 
G            D             G 
Nothing ever happens round here 
                        C 
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing 
G            D             G 
Nothing ever happens round here
