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
