Badman Ballad chords by 
Cisco Houston
N/A•
Verse 1
D
Early one evening I was rollin' around
And I was feelin' kinda mean,
A
I hit a deck of the town
D
Strolled along, home and I went to bed
A
I laid my pistol un der my head
D
G
He strolled on home, I took my time
D
And we went to bed,
thought I'd sleep some more
A
D
I laid his pistol up under his neck.
I'd keep it down.
Early in the morning on the break of day,
A
I figured it was time to make my getaway.
D
I was stepping right along,
but I was stepping too slow.
Got surrounded by the sheriff
A
D
down in Mexico.
G
I right along, but was off the hook.
D
I was stepping too slow.
A
D
Got surrounded by the sheriff in Mexico.
I didn't even get a chance
to see the country.
When I was arrested, didn't have a dime.
The sheriff said, son,
A
you're riding free this time.
D
Where you're going,
you won't need a cent,
because the great state of Texas
A
is going to pay your rent.
D
G
Tell us where you're going.
Thank you, Mr. J.
D
You won't need a cent.
You know it's not a loan.
A
Because the great state of Texas
D
is going to pay your rent.
I might agree with you.
Well, I didn't have a key
G
D
and I didn't have a file,
G
A
D
naturally I stayed around until my trial.
The judge was a old man, 93,
A
and I didn't like the way the jury looked
D
G
The judge was an old man,
D
too old, 93, entirely too old.
A
D
I didn't like the way the jury looked at me,
I think they were suspicious.
The judge and the jury didn't agree,
A
D
they all said murder in the first degree.
The judge said...
Gm
I don't know whether to
hang you or not,
G
but this here killing of deputy sheriffs
A
has just naturally got to stop.
D
D
You got a point there, Judge.
D
It was a most unsatisfactory trial.
They gave you 91 years
A
D
on the hard rock pile.
99 on the hard rock ground.
A
D
G
D
All I ever did was shoot a deputy. 99!
A
And all he ever did was shoot
D
G
the deputy down.
D
G
D
This little thing is shorter
than the rest of me.
A

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
