Intro: Dm
Verso 1:
Dm
I bought a bourgeoise house in the Hollywood hills
With a truckload of hundred thousand dollar bills
Man came by to hook up my cable TV
We settled in for the night my baby and me
Am G
We switched 'round and 'round 'til half-past dawn:
Dm
There was fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Dm
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
?
Verso 2:
Dm
Well now home entertainment was my baby's wish
So I hopped into town for a satellite dish
I tied it to the top of my Japanese car
I came home and I pointed it out into the stars
Am G
A message came back from the great beyond:
Dm
There's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Dm
?Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Middle 8
Dm G F
Well we might'a made some friends with some billionaires
C Cm
We might'a got all nice and friendly if we'd made it upstairs
Am Gm
All I got was a note that said, "Bye-bye, John
Dm
Our love's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on,"
?
Dm
?Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Verso 3:
Dm
So I bought a .44 magnum, it was solid steel cast
And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast
?'Til my TV lay in pieces there at my feet
And they busted me for disturbin' the almighty peace
Am G
Judge said, "What you got in your defense son?"
Dm
?"Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on,"
Dm
?Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on

I can see by your eyes, friend, you're just about gone
Dm

Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
