Chords with lyrics
C majorC
Well bad news travels like wild fire
Good news travels slow
C7C7
And they call me old wild fire everywhere I go
FF C majorC
Lord I'm bad news everybody knows
G7G7
Always gettin' into trouble
FF
And leaving little girls
C majorC
That hate to see me go
NC
Well I've picked peaches down in Georgia
I lumber jacked up in Maine
And I've been hired and fired and jailed
C7C7
In every state you can name
NC
Cause I'm...
FF C majorC
Lord I'm bad news everybody knows
G7G7
Always gettin' into trouble
FF
And leaving little girls
C majorC
That hate to see me go
NC
Well from north to south
From east to west the story is the same
From one state to the other
C7C7
I had to change my name
FF C majorC
Lord I'm bad news everybody knows
G7G7
Always gettin' into trouble
FF
And leaving little girls
C majorC
That hate to see me go
NC
Well they tried to hang me down in Oakland
They did in San Francisco
But I wouldn't choke and I broke their rope
C7C7
And they had to let me go
FF C majorC
Lord I'm bad news everybody knows
G7G7
Always gettin' into trouble
FF
And leaving little girls
C majorC
That hate to see me go
