Verse:

D         C
Say a word for Jimmy Brown
G                        D
He ain't got nothing at all
D           C
Not the shirt right off his back
G                        D
He ain't got nothing at all
D              C
And say a word for Ginger Brown
G                        D
Walks with his head down to the ground
D                    C
Took the shoes right off his feet
G                      D
And threw the poor boy right into the street
D
And this is what he said

Chorus:

D        C
Oh sweet nothing
G                    D
Ain't got nothing at all
D        C
Oh sweet nothing
G                    D
Ain't got nothing at all



And say a word for Polly May
She can't tell the night from the day
They threw her out into the street
But just like a cat she landed on her feet
And say a word for Paula Love
She ain't got nothing at all
'Cause everyday she falls in love
And every night she falls 

And this is what she said
Oh sweet nothing
Ain't got nothing at all
Oh sweet nothing
Ain't got nothing at all

1st G  O

Oh let me hear you!

And say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't got nothing at all
They took the shirt right off his back
He ain't got nothing at all

And say a word for Ginger Brown
Walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes right off his feet
Threw the poor boy right out into the street

And this is what he said

Oh sweet nothing
Ain't got nothing at all
Oh sweet nothing
Ain't got nothing at all
Oh sweet nothing
Ain't got nothing at all
Oh sweet nothing
Ain't got nothing at all

2nd G  O into 3rd SLIDE G  O

Oh sweet nothing
She ain't got nothing at all
Oh sweet nothing
Ain't got nothing at all
Oh sweet nothing
She ain't got nothing at all
