    Em


    I've got a pistol that's
    Bm

    eager to shoot.
    B
    Em

    I'm just an ornery sort of a brute.
    B
    Em

    I've got 20 carels just

    to hold all my gals.

    They say I'm wicked,
    C
    Em

    but think that I'm cute.
    G
    Em

    I'm a bad man, I'm a bad man,

    so you better stay out of my way
    B

    Well now, I got a pistol, but I never draw
    Bm
    Em

    I get my results keeping

    inside the law

    When I sing and I play,

    women give me my way
    Bm

    I'm just the slickest thing
    Em

    that they ever saw

    I'm a bad man, I'm a bad man

    So you better stay out of my way
    Bm

    I like a gal, and I just grab her hand
    B

    Soon after that she'll
    Bm
    Em

    be wearing my brand
    C
    Em

    When I twirl my lasso, then she's ready to go

    I make them cry,
    Bm
    Em

    but they think that I'm grand

    I'm a bad man, I'm a bad man
    G
    Em

    So you better stay out of my way

    I don't believe in all
    B
    Bm

    that honoree stuff.
    Em

    I get my gals, but chucks,

    I never play rough.

    I just walk and she purrs

    when I jingle my spurs.

    I get what you get without getting tough.

    I'm a bad man, I'm a bad man,

    so you better stay out of my way.
    B
    Bm

    I treat my women like I treat

    my mules.
    B

    They don't get stubborn
    Em

    when I make the ruse.
    C
    Em

    When I'm crackin' my whip,

    then they don't give me no lip.

    I've got them buffalo,

    the sweet little foos.

    I'm a bad man, I'm a bad man,

    so you better stay out of my way.
    C
    Em

    Now I treat a gal like a gal, not a mule.
    B
    Em

    I get a flame burnin', just keepin' cool

    With a wink of the eye and,

    well, a sort of a sigh

    They think that I'm precious

    and just as rare as a jewel

    I'm a bad man, I'm a bad man
    G
    Em

    So you better stay out of my way

    I use my muscles to make a gal fall
    B
    Em
    B
    Bm

    Me, I do it smoother,
    Em

    avoidin' the brawl

    We're a couple of cards

    Say, we oughta be pars

    Let's get together and we'll get them all
    G

    Oh, we're bad men, yes, we're bad men
    Em

    So you'd better stay out of our way
    Outro 1
    Em

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • 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 a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • 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

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
