Verse 1
A7
Went uptown to see my cousin
Plays guitar, sounds like a chainsaw buzzin'
In the crowd, I see his mom and dad
I said "Hey, hey Uncle, man your son is bad"
Chorus
Am7/D A7
But sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
Bm7/E Am7/D A7 E7
Cool is a rule, but, sometimes, bad is bad.
Verse 2
Across the street, a neon sign
All you can eat for a dollar ninety nine
Our sould stew is the baddest in the land
But one dollar's worth was all that I could stand
(Chorus)
Verse 2
Back uptown to see marie
Nobody home, I opened the door with my key
"I love you, Huey" was the note I read
But there's a strange pair of shoes underneath the bed
(Chorus)
Enjoy!
