No Peace For The Wicked Chords by Rory Gallagher

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
No peace for the wicked, _ no way, no how.
If you've got to do this, you've got to pay somehow.
No use [Gm] complaining [G] about the hair that feeds. _
Now you know that it's raining, how [D] come you talk [G] to me?
How come you talk to me?
[D] Yeah, [G] yeah.
Well, [C] your friends and [C#] high places [F] [C] won't bail you out this time.
With all your social graces, [G] this [C] lack of [G] patronizing,
[C] feeling so uneasy, [Gm] you [C] can't tell me from afar.
[D] You're always looking back to [G] see who's coming through.
No use showing protection for the common fear.
Took a yes for an answer, _ didn't see it here. _
Collected for [Gm] the wrong shot with a silken [G] fist.
Now you've crossed the company with a Judas kiss.
You've got your own on this.
Yeah, [Gm] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] you're like a loaded heater, just about to go off [G] on the streets. _
_ _ _ You [F] need a babysitter to pick you up if you [G] can't stand the heat. _ _
[A#] _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] No [G] peace for the wicked, no way, no how.
If you've got to do this, you've got to pay somehow.
No use complaining about the hate that bleeds.
And now you know it's raining, how come you talk to me?
How come you talk to me?
_ [A#] [C] Well, your friends and low [F] places [C] have tightened up the screws.
They made this kind of nightmare.
You're trapped, what can you do?
The quality of mercy [C] is really out of reach.
[D] But you're caught on the ones who peel, right there's what you [C#] preach.
