Well, bad [A]news travels like wildfire, good news travels slow.
They call me "Wildfire", 'cause ev'rybody knows
I'm ba[D7]d news ev'rywhere I go.[A]
[E7]Always gettin' into trouble
And leavin' little girls that hate to see me go.[A]
[A]They tried to hang me in Oakland and they did in Fransisco.
But I wouldn't choke, I broke their rope and they had to let me go,
'cause I'm bad ne[D7]ws ev'rywhere I go.[A]
[E7]Always gettin' into trouble
And leavin' little girls that hate to see me go.[A]
Now, from north to [A]south to east to west, the story is the same.
From one state to another I have to change my name,
'cause I'm bad ne[D7]ws ev'rywhere I go.[A]
[E7]Always gettin' into trouble
And leavin' little girls that hate to see me go.[A]

[B]Well, now I picked peaches in Georgia, I lumberjacked in Maine.
I've been hired, fired and jailed; any town you can name,
'cause I'm bad ne[E7]ws ev'rywhere I go.[B]
[F#7]Always gettin' into trouble
And leavin' little girls that hate to see me go.[B]
