_ _ _ _ Jeremiah sent his beast, then fell back in the road.
_ _ He was shot by Coolie Reese, who the nickname Jack the [B] Toad.
_ [E] Just across his shoulder, just a little to the right he heard,
Click back the [B] 45, hand on!
_ _ [C#] _ _ [E] So he throws himself down [C#] and he hits the ground. _ _
He rolls right over and _ spins [C#m] round.
_ _ Then with one good shot, _ just one good shot, _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ A legend grew, and Jack the Toad knew, to back up all the [Bm] talk.
_ [E] _ One day soon, preferably noon, he's gonna have to take the long walk.
[D] _ _ [E] A poker game and a fast step, of these Jack was the [D] master.
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ Then a man called Pete, _ [C#] _ _ [C#m] at the end of [C#] a dusty, dusty [C#m] street,

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

[B] Bad, bad [E] news, [C] it was _ [B] bad, bad [Em] news.
