Bad News Chords by John D. Loudermilk

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Bad news travels like a wildfire, good news travels slow
They call me old wildfire, cause everybody knows [B] that I'm bad news
_ _ Everywhere [F#] I go, always [C#m] getting into trouble
And _ _ _ leaving little girls who hate to [F#] see me go
_ _ Well I've picked peaches down in Georgia, I lumberjacked up in Maine
I've been hired and fired and jailed in every state you can name
Cause [B] I'm bad news, _ _ everywhere [F#] I go
_ _ [C#m]
Always getting into trouble, _ _ _ and leaving little girls who hate to [F#] see me go
From _ north to south, from east to west, the story is the same
From one state to the other, I have to change my name
Cause [B] I'm bad news, _ everywhere I [F#] go _
_ Always [C#] getting into trouble, _ [C#m] _
and leaving little [C#] girls who hate to see [F#] me go
Well they tried to hang me up in Oakland, and they did in San Frisco
But I wouldn't choke, and I broke their rope, and they had to let me go
Cause [B] I'm bad news, _ _ everywhere I go
[F#] _ _ _ [C#m] Always getting into trouble, _ _ _ and leaving little girls who hate to see [F#] me go _ _ _ _ _ _
