Bad Man chords by Conway Twitty
Verse 1
Am
I have a reputation
that's known throughout the land
F
They say I'm faster on the draw
G
Am
than any living man
They call me the bad man,
they say I kill for fun
F
They say the only thing I know
G
Am
is how to use a gun
C
But they don't know the reason
Am
they branded me as bad
F
It started many years ago
G
Am
when I was just a lad
I rode into a cattle town,
a boy of twenty -three
F
So young as yet that very day
G
I carved my destiny
Am
I walked into the town saloon
that sad and fateful day
F
And I began to gamble
G
to pass the time away
Am
C
I thought I'd play a hand or two
and hit the trail again
Am
F
But lady luck was with me
G
Am
and I began to win
The dealer kept on dealing,
the stakes were getting high
F
And pretty soon there was no one left
G
Am
but an old cowboy and I
The minute seemed like hours,
you couldn't hear a sound
F
We bet and raised
G
Am
until we'd laid all our money down
C
The cowboy smiled and showed his hand,
Am
three aces he did hold
F
But I laid down a royal flush
G
Am
and reached to claim my gold
The cowboy stood and faced me,
his hands hung at his hips
F
A look of hate was in his eyes,
G
Am
a smile had left his lips
He said, young man, slap leather,
I'm known for miles around
F
To keep my reputation up,
G
Am
I've got to gun you down
C
With the lightning speed we
drew and fired,
Am
one life to be the cost
F
The cowboy crumbled to the floor,
G
Am
his reputation lost
Now years have come and years have gone,
and many men have died
F
He's tried his luck
and hoped he'd be the
G
Am
fastest gun alive
And in my many fights to live,
I wonder if I've won
F
I'm known by all as Batman,
G
Am
they think I kill for fun
C
Someday I'll meet a cowboy
Am
whose speed will meet the test
F
And that will end the saga
G
Am
of The Bad Man of the West
