The Badlands Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Dm][F][G]

[Verse 1]
they [Am]call this
the badlands [F]baby, yeah
but it used to be bayou,
[Dm]the shore of an inland sea[F][G]
but i [Am]can hear you coming,
hear you [F]coming
hear you coming, hear you [Dm]coming
hear you coming, hear you [F]coming
hear you coming, [G]hear you coming

[Verse 2]
what foul [Am]beast stalks this way?
the night is dim, but i catch the scent,
of your arrogance
as you rear your head,
[F]i can see your eyes
gleaming, catching light from the moon, like
a pair of knives to [Dm]cut me down

[Verse 3]
theres [Dm]a hole in the world,
and [F]the light is [G]leaking out
spilling like water, and i [Am]can hear you coming,
hear you [F]coming
hear you coming, hear you [Dm]coming
hear you coming, hear you [F]coming
hear you coming, [G]hear you coming

[Interlude 1]
[Am][D]

[Verse 4]
[Am]what new devilry is this?
i saw you rise, and creep across [D]the sky,
[Am]and all night [F]as i[Am] fled
you came [D]behind, eating all [Dm]the stars
dig to find, why the light [F]left
rocks and stones,
skulls and [Dm]bones
whispered stories, tales of glory,
[G#]and a tr[Bb]agic fall from grace[G#]
and [Bb]a tragic fall from [G#]grace,
and [Bb]a tragic fall from [Eb]grace
and were still falling,
just like the di[Cm]nosaurs

[Verse 5]
[B]
a [C#]tra gic fall from [Eb]grace
