The Smiths’ “William It Was Really Nothing” Transcribed by Tyler Burns The rain falls hard on a humdrum town This town has dragged you down Oh, the rain falls hard on a humdrum town This town has dragged you down Oh, no, and everybody’s got to live their life And God knows I’ve got to live mine God knows Ive got to live mine (instrumental passage) + William, William, it was really nothing + William, William, it was really nothing It was your life ... How can you stay with a fat girl who’ll say, oh! (repeat Chorus) Would you like to marry me ? And if you like you can buy the ring + She doesnt care about anything Would you like to marry me ? And if you like you can buy the ring I dont dream about anyone - except myself ! Oh, william, william it was really nothing William, William
