This is a song that I’ve been thinking about since 1973. I’ve had the tune and the 
concept since then but I just started writing it in April 2022. Just to keep 
the psychologists happy, I've embedded some really deep meaning inside it. Cheers




C            G             A7      F                   C         D
Nothin’ from nothin leaves nothin. Nothin’ ain't worth nothin at all.
 F                            C             
Nothin’ could be what you’re leaving for me.
D                         G
Nothin might be a silent wake up call.

C            G             A7  F                  C         D
Nothin times nothin is nothin. Nothin ain’t worth nothin at all.
 F                            C            
Nothin’ might be a whisp of smoke in the hall
D                                    G
But it might be a whisper, something big’s gonna fall
C                G                A7     F                  C            D
Nothin’ could be farther from the truth. Nothin’ could be a girl called Ruth
F                          C
Nothin could be the secret she told me. 

     D                      G
But nothin’ you ask me will ever pry it loose.
C                   G             A7     F                  C    D
‘Cause nothin’ from nothin’ is nothin’.  Nothin’ ain’t nothin at all.
F                C             D           G       C
Do Do DO Do Do   DO DO DO      DO DO DO    DO DO   DO


C            G             A7      F               C         D
Nothin times nothin is nothin. Nothin ain’t worth nothin at all.
 F                   C
Nothin might be the regrets that I’ve had.
D                             G
Nothing might be what’s been making me sad.
 C                G       A7
Nothin’ might be nothin’ more than a lie.
 F              C         D
Nothin’s not a reason to die!
 F                          C
Nothin’ might be what they said there was before!
 D                          G
Nothin’s not a reason to go out and start a war.
C                   G             A7     F                  C    D
‘Cause nothin’ from nothin’ is nothin’.  Nothin’ ain’t nothin at all.

F                C                D           G       C
Do Do DO Do Do   DO DO Do Do      DO DO DO    DO DO   DO

C                   G             A7     F                      C               D
If nothin’ was somethin’ it should’t be, then nothin would be somethin’ after all
 F                              C
Get it in your mind, while your sitting at a sign.
 D                          G
Work it all out while your wasting your time.
 C           G       A7               F                C         D
Nothin might be the feeling you get, when you finally wake up dead.

F                C             D           G       C    C7
Do Do DO Do Do   DO DO DO      DO DO DO    DO DO   DO
F                C             D           G       C
