E|E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|| BAD TO ME - Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas E|E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Tabbed by: Robb Anagnostis E-mail: robb@musician.org Tuning: Standard Every chord chart I've found on the internet for this song is incorrect and fails to include all the Aaug, F#m/C#, Am6 and B7 chords. This chart finally includes ALL the right chords that the others are missing. There is a chord chart at the bottom with fingering suggestions.
