Chords with lyrics

• Difficulty: Beginner

Intro:

C majorC         E minorEm
I was born in the badlands, honey
A minorAm         FF
Strange place for a boy to drown
C majorC         E minorEm
Spent my days on a mountain, baby
A minorAm          FF
Twelve miles north of Sofiatown



FF C majorC G+G

Verse 1:
FF           C majorC        G+G
You’ve been gone away
I’ve been riding around
FF           C majorC        G+G
Running out the days, writing out a song
          FF
On my daddy’s guitar
FF           C majorC         G+G
Did you find your way? Skip another town?

Said I couldn’t stay but it’s different now
FF      C majorC        G+G
Yippee ki yi yay
I’m always down

For hanging around


Chorus:
C majorC       G+G
Left to borrow, gone tomorrow
A minorAm           FF
Baby, there ain't a trail to follow
C majorC        E minorEm      A minorAm FF
Better off alone if you ask me
C majorC      G+G
Travel lucky
Kawasaki
A minorAm          FF
Maybe, next time I'll take you with me
C majorC       E minorEm     A minorAm FF
And I still hear the sound
C majorC      E minorEm        A minorAm FF
The wind come up
Kalahari down

Kalahari down

Verse 2:
FF        C majorC         G+G
Polish in your whip, never drove it far
FF       C majorC         G+G
Circling the veld, spittin' in the jar
          FF
On your Daddy's farm
        C majorC           G+G
You say you're afraid, tell me not to frown

Play a song, you dance around
FF         C majorC         G+G
Yippee yo ki yay, we'd hit the ground

Still tumbling down


Chorus:
C majorC       E minorEm
What do I know? Buncha sorrow
A minorAm           FF
Promises of a desperado
C majorC         E minorEm
Through the rusty sky I feel the breeze
C majorC        E minorEm
Where do we go? Mendocino?
A minorAm         FF
Maybe some day I'll get to see all
C majorC        E minorEm         A minorAm FF
The places like Torino's never been
C majorC      E minorEm      A minorAm FF
And I still hear the sound
C majorC      E minorEm      A minorAm FF
Wind come up
Kalahari down

Kalahari down


Outro:
C majorC         E minorEm
Left to roam on a reckless wander
A minorAm         FF
Raising sand on the setting sun
C majorC          E minorEm
Keep an eye on that dusty highway
A minorAm
Tell my mother I'm nearly done

Harmonica:
And I still hear the sound

Wind come up
Kalahari down

Kalahari down
