I Ain't No Nice Guy by Motörhead
Transcribed by Máirt
This version is with the musically correct chord shapes and names taking into account that the tuning is
down a Half-Step. It's also much more accurate than other versions here. If you want to see the chord names
just according to the shapes you should play ( A E D etc...) then just use the transpose tool on the left
to move it up a half-step.
Tuning: Down a half step - D# G# C# F# A# D#
[Intro]
G# D# C# x2
[Verse]
G# D# C#
When I was young I was the nicest guy I knew
G# F# C#
I thought I was the chosen one
G# D# C#
But time went by and I found out a thing or two
G# F# C#
My shine wore off as time wore on
G# D# C#
I thought that I was living out the perfect life
G# F# C#
But in the lonely hours when the truth begins to surprise
G# D# C#
I thought about the times when I turned my back and sulked
G# F# C#
I ain't no nice guy after all
[Verse 2]
G# D# C#
When I was young I was the only game in town
G# F# C#
I thought I had it down for sure,
G# D# C#
But time went by and I was lost in what I found
G# F# C#
The reasons blurred, the way unsure
G# D# C#
I thought that I was living life the only way
G# F# C#
But as I saw that life was more than day to day
G# D# C#
I turned around, I read the writing on the wall
G# F# C#
I ain't no nice guy after all
G# F# G#
I ain't no nice guy after all
[Bridge]

In all the years you spend between your birth and death
F A#
You know there's lots of times when you should have saved your breath

It comes as quite a shock when that trip leads to a fall
F# C#
I ain't no nice guy after all
G# F# G#
I ain't no nice guy after all
