[Verse]
 
A
I bought a Hollywood house
In the bourgeois hills
For a dump truck
Of hundred thousand dollar bills
D
Man came by to hook up my cable TV
           A
We settled in for the night
My baby and me
            E
We switched around and round
Until a-half-past dawn
               A
But there were fifty-seven channels, man
    D       A
And nothing on
 
[Verse]
 
A
Well, now home entertainment
Was my baby's wish
So I hopped into town for a satellite dish
D
Came home, tied it to my Japanese car
A
Stuck it in the backyard
Aimed it at the stars
E
A message came back from the great beyond
             A
Son, there's fifty-seven channels
    D       A
And nothing on
 
[Bridge]
 
             D
Well, like a wheel of fortune
We were spinning that wishing
    A
All night 'till the morning
With our eyes gone fishing
E
Message up, we sat there on that couch
'Till just about dawn
A
Fifty-seven channels
    D       A
And nothing on
 
A                       D    A
Mmm-hmm yeah! All right now
 
[Verse]
 
                  D
Well, we might-a made some friends
With some billionaires
           A
We might-a got all hot and horny
If we'd made it upstairs
      E
All I got was a note that said
"Goodbye, John"
            A
"Our love is fifty-seven channels
    D       A
And nothing on"
 
[Verse]
 
A
Well, I bought a .44 magnum
With solid steel caste
In the blessed name of Elvis
Well, I let it blast
         D
'Til my TV was in pieces there at my feet
         A
And they busted me for disturbing
The almighty peace
            E
Judge said "What you got in your defense son?"
N.C.
"I shot it...
fifty-seven channels
There was fifty-seven channels
There's fifty-seven channels
     D      A
And nothing on"
 
[Outro]
              D
Whoa, I keep switching
            A
My mind's twitching
                    E
My finger trigger's itching
I can see by your eyes friend
       D
You're just about gone
       A
You're fifty-seven channels
    D       A
And nothing on
