Chords

As recorded by Status Quo (From the 2007 Album IN SEARCH OF THE FOURTH CHORD) [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 N.C.  B5
Oh yes I am
[Interlude] Bm E Bm E B [Guitar Solo] B5 E5 B5 E5 B5 [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
