[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
He was [C]standing in the rubble
Of an [F]old farmhouse outside Birming[C]ham
When some on the scene reporter
Stuck a [F]camera in the face of that [G]old man
He said, [C]tell the folks please mister,
what are you gonna do
[F]Now that this twister
has taken [Dm]all that's dear to you
[Am]The old man just smile[Em]d
Boy let me tell you some[F]thing[G]
This ain't [C]nothin'[G]

[Chorus 1]
He [F]said, I lost my daddy,
when [G]I was eight years o[F]ld
That [C]cave-in at the Kincaid mine
[Dm]left a big old [C]hole
And I [F]lost my baby brother,
my best [G]friend, and my left [F]hand
In a [C]no win situation in a [Dm]place called Viet[C]nam
And last [Am]year I watched my [G]loving wife
Of [F]fifty years waste a[C]way and die
And I [Dm]held her hand 'til her [C]heart of gold
[F]stopped [G]pumping
So this ain't [C]nothin'[F]

[Verse 2]
He [C]said I learned at an early age
[F]There's things that matter
and there's things that [C]don't
So if you're waiting here for me to cry
[F]I hate to disappoint you boy,
but I [G]won't
[F]Then he rea[C]ched down in the rubble
and picked up a photograph
[F]Wiped the dirt off of it
with the [Dm]hand that he still had
[Am]He put it to his lips and [Em]he said,
man she was [F]something[G]
But this ain't [C]nothin'

[Chorus 2]
He [F]said I lost my daddy,
when [G]I was eight years o[F]ld
That [C]cave-in at the Kincaid mine
[Dm]left a big old [C]hole
And I [F]lost my baby brother,
my best [G]friend, and my left [F]hand
In a [C]no win situation in a [Dm]place called Viet[C]nam
And last [Am]year I watched my [G]loving wife
Of [F]fifty years waste a[C]way and die
We were [Dm]holding hands when her [C]heart
of gold [F]stopped [G]pumping
So this ain't [C]nothin'

[Outro 1]
He said [F]this ain't nothin' time won't e[C]rase[G]
And [F]this ain't nothin' money can't re[G]place
He said [Am]"You sit and watch [G]your loving wife
Of [F]fifty years fighting [C]for her life
Then you [Dm]hold her hand 'til her [C]heart of gold
[F]stops pumping
[G]Yeah boy, that's something
So this ain't [C]nothin'[F]
No this ain't [C]nothin'[F][C]
