Born To Be Bad - Geo Thorogood

Rev "B"

^AOn the night I arrived my daddy ^Dsaid "Sakes Alive,
^A He's the meanest one that we've had ^Eyet!"
^A Teethed on tin and ^Dweened on gin
^E I was nobody's teacher's ^Apet
^A I grew up rough and mean in my ^Dearly teens
^A And I didn't want to go to ^E school
^A I called no man "Sir" and work ^Dwas a dirty word
^E My biggest kick was breakin' the rules

^A Now when you see me comin', ^Dget away
^A The one's that didn't ain't ^Earound today
^A The sweetest piece of lovin' any ^D girl ever had
^E I'm here to tell ya boys I was ^A born to be bad

^ABorn, born to be ^Dbad
I was ^Aborn, ^E ^-E
born to be ^Abad

^A Now when I reached 21 I knew the ^D time had come
^D I had that ole ramblin' ^E itch
^A Breakin' little girls hearts I tore the ^Dworld apart
^A A guitar-playin' son of a...

Timing is different during guitar solo
^Afull eight beats, ^Deight beats
^Afour beats, ^Efour beats, ^Aeight beats,
^Afull eight beats, ^Deight beats
^Afour beats, ^Efour beats, ^Aeight beats,

^D Born to be bad
^D That's the story of ^Amy life
^D Yeah, doin' things wrong is my way of doin' things ^E right

^A Now when I'm gray and old and my ^Dstory's told
^A I know what the people will ^Esay
^A They'll be glad to see me go
^D But the little girls will know
^E I was bad til my dyin' day

So when you see me comin', get away
The one's that didn't ain't around today
The sweetest piece of lovin' any girl ever had
I'm here to tell ya boys I was born to be bad
Born, born to be bad
I was born, born to be bad

Now when I'm old and gray and I've had my day
I know what the people will do
They'll be glad to see me go
But the little girls will know
I was bad til the day I was through

So when you see me comin', get away
The one's that didn't ain't around today
The sweetest piece of lovin' any girl ever had
I'm here to tell ya boys I was born to be bad
Born, born to be bad
I was born, born to be bad
