I bought a
F5/D
bourgeois house in the Hollywood hills
E5/D D5
With a trunkload of hundred thousand dollar bills
F5/D E5/D
Man came by to hook up my cable TV
D5
We settled in for the night my baby and me
We switched

'round and 'round 'til half-past dawn. There was
D5
57 channels and nothin' on
57 channels and nothin' on
57 channels and nothin' on
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 pointed it out into the stars
A message came back from the great beyond
There's 57 channels and nothin' on
G7sus
Well we might-a made some friends with some billionaires
Dm7
We might'a got all nice and friendly
If we'd made it upstairs
Am7 G7sus
All I got was a note that said, "Bye bye John
D5 (w/ Riff A (2 times))
Our love's 57 channels and nothin' on."
57 channels and nothin' on
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
Judge said, "What you got in your defense son?"
"57 channels and nothin' on"
57 channels and nothin' on
57 channels and nothin' on
57 channels and nothin' on
Am7 G7sus
I can see by your eyes friend you're just about gone
D5 (w/ Riff A (until fade))
57 channels and nothin' on
57 channels and nothin' on
57 channels and nothin' on
57 channels and nothin' on
Dm7
57 channels and nothin' on
Ooh, ooh.
