Ain't No Rest For The Wicked by Cage The Elephant

Tuning: DADGBD (I pulled this tuning from someones tab, but you can just as 
effectively play it in drop D without tuning the low e to d). As close as I can 
tell, a barred 8th fret in this tuning is an .

Intro: You need to slide from the 5th fret to the 8th, then back to the 5th. After 
that hit the 8th and 10th creating the Bb and C (x4)

             
I was walking 

              
down the stree

              
t, when out th

    
e corner of my

 eye          

   
             
I saw a pretty

              
 little thing 

             
approaching me

  
.
              
She said "I've

             
 never seen a 

             
man... who loo


ks so all alon

e
             
Could you use 

              
a little compa

   
ny?
             
If you pay the

              
 right price, 

        
your evening w

ill be nice
             
And you can go

              
 and send me o

          
n my way."
              
I said "You're

             
 such a sweet 

              
young thing, w

       
hy you do this

 to yourself?"
             
She looked at 

            
me... and this

              
 is what she s

      
aid,

             
"Oh, there ain

              
't no rest for

                                 
 the wicked,
             
Money don't gr

            
ow on trees.
             
I got bills to

              
 pay, I got mo

         
uths to feed
              
There ain't no

             
thing in this 

             
world for free

  
.
             
I know I can't

              
 slow down, I 

              
can't hold bac

  
k
             
Though you kno

              
w, I wish I co

    
uld.
             
No there ain't

              
 no rest for t

          
he wicked,
             
Until we close

              
 our eyes for 

      
good".



Not even fifteen minutes later
I'm still walking down the street,
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
Then he walks up from behind
And puts a gun up to my head,
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.
He said "Give me all you've got
I want your money not your life,
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."
I said "You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?"


He said "There ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good".


Now a couple hours passed
And I was sitting at my house,
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
So I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news,
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.
I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church,
He's got this bank account with righteous dollar bills.
But even still I can't say much
Because I know we're all the same,
Oh yes we've all got to satisfy those thrills.


"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
We got bills to pay,
We got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know we can't slow down,
We can't hold back,
Though you know, we wish we could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good"
