Status Quo - Bad News

[Intro]
B5

[Verse 1]
A5 B5
I was born in the middle of nowhere
B5
They found me in a sack
B5
I never knew no love or affection
B5 E5
So I never let it held me back
B5
Now the time has moved along
B5
And I’m wiser as I’m older
B5
Well balanced? That I am
B5
I’ve got a chip on each of my shoulders
D5 E5
I’m on a mission to spread the word
A5
Of the meaning of the blues
B5 F#5
So watch out now, here’s Johnny!

[Chorus]
A5 B5
Believe I’m bad news
F#5
Oh yes I am
A5 N.C. B5
Oh yes I am

[Interlude]
A5 B5 E5

[Verse 2]
B5
I ain’t got no heart to speak of
B5
And my soul is black
B5
So I’ll take yours for my own
E5
Don’t ever ask me for them back
B5
Once I was good and true
B5
I even tried to become a believer
B5
But I soon found out where I should be praying
D5
The Church of The Lying Deceiver
E5
And when you think that I’m good to go
A5
I put on those walking shoes
B5 F#5
To find myself another sucker like you

[Chorus]
A5 B5
Believe I’m bad news
F#5
Hell yes I am
A5 B5
Believe I’m bad news
F#5
Oh yes I am
A5 B5
Oh yes I am

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
E5
And when you think that I’m good to go
F#5
I put on those walking shoes
B5 F#5
To find myself another sucker like you

[Chorus]
A5 B5
Believe I’m bad news
F#5
Oh yes I am
A5 B5
Believe I’m bad news
F#5 E5 A5 N.C.
Hell yes I am
B5
Oh yes I am
