Remove AdsINTRO: E E E B A C#m B x3 (Turn distortion on here)E E A A B
ELights out tonight
A BTrouble in the heartland
EGot a head-on collision
A BSmashin' in my guts, man
E AI'm caught in a cross fire
BThat I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure girl
EI don't give a damn
A BFor the same old played out scenes
EI don't give a damn
A BFor just the in betweens
E ABoney, I want the heart, I want the soul
BI want control right now
ATalk about a dream
Try to make it real
BYou wake up in the night
With a fear so real
ASpend your life waiting
B AFor a moment that just don't come
B A BWell, don't waste your time waiting
(Chorus)
E A C#m BBadlands, you gotta live it everyday
E ALet the broken hearts stand
C#m BAs the price you've gotta pay
EWe'll keep pushin' till it's understood
A C#m B E E A A BAnd these badlands start treating us good
VErSE iI:Use the same chords form the first verse.(In some live versions, Bruce does a
little note picking when the chords change. It seemed easy enoungh to tab out.
A|7-----|
Workin' in the fiedls E|-7-5-7|
Till you get your back burned
Workin' `neath the wheel
Till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts
Learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich,
Rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied
Till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight,
I wanna find out what I got
Well I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope
And I pray that some day
It may raise me above these
CBoRUS: Same chords as before.
INTErLUDE:

VErSE iII:Still the same chords. Turn your guitar up, and palm mute The chords as you
play them.
For the ones who had a notion,
A notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin
To be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face
That ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place,
I wanna spit in the face of these badlands
CBoRUS: Same chords. End with:
