B                     A            E
 She hit town like a rose in bloom
                                   B
Smellin' sweet, said sweet perfume
                         A          E
The color faded and the petals died

Down in the city, no one cried

D                                E
In the streets, the garbage lies

Protected by a million flies
     B                             A            E
The roaches so big you know that they got bones

They moved in and made a tenement home

        B                             A
I said nice boys don't play rock and roll
 B                             A
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
           E
I'm not a nice boy

  B                     A             E
Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean
                                      B
Wanted so bad to be part of the scene
                         A            E
She met the man and she did the smack

Paid the price layin' flat on her back

 D                                    E
Wanted so bad just to please the boys

They ended up just being a toy
  B                        A        E
Played so hard burned her life away

Lies were told no promises made

          B                             A
You know nice boys don't play rock and roll
 B                             A
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
           E
I'm not a nice boy and I never was

 B                        A       E
Young and fresh when she hit town
                                              B
Hot for kicks or just to get ourselves around
                       A          E
But now she lays in a filthy room

She kills the pain with a flick and a spoon

    D                               E
And in the streets the garbage lies

Protected by a million flies
              B
You know the roaches so big
                A            E
You know that they got bones

Moved in and made a tenement home

 B                             A
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 B                             A
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 B                             A

 B                             A
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 B                             A
Nice boys don't play rock and roll

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no baby
 B                             A
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 B                             A
Nice boys never don't play rock and roll

 B                             A
Nice boys don't play rock and roooooll
 B                             A
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
