G B7 C A E

[Chorus]
E
I'm just a bad boy,
E
Long long ways from home.
           A
I'm just a bad boy,
                    E
Long long ways from home.
B
But I ain't got nobody
C           B7                E
To bury me when I'm dead and gone.

{Verse]
E
Well I'm the cat that scratches
E
And I'm like a dog that bites.
E
I'll be your box of matches, baby,
E
When you need a light.

[Chorus]
               A
I'm just a bad boy,
A                   E
Long long ways from home.
B
But I ain't got nobody
C          B7                 E
To bury me when I'm dead and gone.


[Bridge]
A
I used to have a little girl,
E
Only 16 years old,
A
But her mom and dad put me way out,
E
Way out in the cold.
F#
I can't stay here no longer,
F#
My luck is running slow.
A
Gotta keep on moving
B
But I ain't got no place to go.


[Chorus]
           E
I'm just a bad boy,
E                          E7
Long long ways from home.
           A
I'm just a bad boy,
                     E
Long long ways from home.
B
But I ain't got nobody
C           B7               E
To bury me when I'm dead and gone.
