Great song! Been playing it in my band for years this is how i play it Capo 3, Intro: C (C) Verse 1: (C) Am Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed

And^C secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their^Am coats Jani^Ftors padlock the gat^Ces for secu^Grity guards to patr^Fol And ^Fbachelors phone up their fr^Ciends for a drink While the ^Gmarried ones turn on a c^Fhat show And theyll a^Cll be lonely ton^Fight and lonely tomorro^Cw

Verse 2:

Gen^Ctlemen time please, you know we cant serve any^Ammore Now the t^Craffic lights change to stop, when theres nothing t^Amo go And by f^Five oclock everythings de^Cad And eve^Gry third car is a c^Fab, and ignorant people sle^Cep in their beds, Like the do^Gped white mice in the col^Flege lab

Chorus:

And Not^Ching ever hap^Fpens, n^Cothing happens at a^Fll. The ne^Amedle ret^Gurns to the st^Fart of the song, And we a^Gll sing along like bef^Fore, And well a^Cll be lonely ton^Fight and lonely tomo^Crrow.

Verse 3:

Tele^Cphone exchanges click while theres nobody t^Amhere, The m^Cartians could land in the carpark and no one would ^Amcare. Cl^Fose-circuit cameras in de^Cpartment stores shoot the ^Gsame video everyd^Fay. And the s^Ftars of these films neither d^Cie nor get killed, Just sur^Gvive constant action rep^Flay

Chorus:

Interlude: D C D C Am G C (C) Verse 4: (C) Am Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs

Chorus:

And not^Ching ever ha^Fppens, not^Ching happens at a^Fll The ne^Amedle ret^Gurns to the st^Fart of the song, And we a^Gll sing along like be^Ffore, And not^Ching ever ha^Fppens, n^Cothing happens at ^Fall, Theyll b^Amurn down the^G synagogues a^Ft six oclock And well ^Gall go along like be^Ffore, And well a^Cll be lonely ton^Fight and lonely tomo^Crrow.
