Jeremiah set his feast, then fell back in the road.
He was shot by Coolie Reese, who the nickname [B] Jacket showed.
[E] And just across his shoulder, just a little to the right he heard,
Click back the 45 hand-nods.
[C#] _ So he throws himself down and he hits the ground.
He rolls right over and [C#m] spins round.
Then with one good shot, just one good shot,
he brings that villain right down.
_ [E] _ _ _ In true old western manner, bad, bad news.
It was [B] bad, bad [Em] news.
[C] _ _ [B] Coolie never [E] lost his cool. _
_ _ _ _ A legend grew, and Jack the Toad knew,
to back up all [Bm] the talk.
[E] One day soon, preferably noon, he's gonna have to take the [D] long walk.
[E] A poker game and a fast step,
at least Jack [D] was the master.
_ [C#] _ _ [C#m] _
And a man called Pete, at the [C#] end of a dusty, dusty [C#m] street,
he's just about six feet.
[C#] _ Now he just [F#] might, _ [C#] you know, he just [E] might,
he _ _ _ might be a little [E] faster.
[B] Bad, bad news.
It was bad, bad news.
[C] I knew Coolie, [B] Coolie never lost [E] his cool.
_ [B] _ [G#m] I'll be blown, _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] I'll be blown.
_ [G#m] It's Jack the [D] Toad.

_ _ _ _ _ [E] It's Jack the Toad.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Had to have an honest honest day,
when Jack was feeling good.
But a friend of a friend promised a friend of a friend promised a friend of a friend he [G] would.
But [E] many brave men have said the same thing,
again and [B] again and again.
[C#] _ _
[C#m] _ Now Jack, when he went out to face Pete for the final showdown,
he was just a little bit [C#] high. _ _
[F#] He'd been drinking and [C#] smoking,
and he thought he was so [E] fast, he made the last move.
And that was the last move he made. _
[B] Bad news.
[C] It was bad [E] news.
[C]
I knew Coolie, Coolie never [E] lost his cool.
But _ _ _ _ now he's gone, but his memory lives on.
Mind you, every comic strip reader,
some say he was Jack, some [G] say he was Jack.
Some say he was [Gm] just a reader.
[E] One fact, one fact remain,
always be the same.
[C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ Now, on your way through life, _
sometimes you just gotta be a little bad.
_ _ [E] Now [C#] I knew Jack, and my goodness, he was bad.
He was bad.
[C#] _ Bad news.
You just gotta be a little bad, [E] because if you [C#] ain't,
_ the great gunfighter in the sky ain't got no one to save.
And if you're just a little bad, _ _ just a little [E] bad, _
_ _ nobody forgets your name.
[C] Bad, [B] bad news.
It was [B] bad, bad news.
[C] _
Bad.
_ [B] Wow!
This Jack was bad.
[E] Woo-hoo! _ _ _ _
