Bad News Knockin

Intro-

   D

D
Late night headlight
 through the window blinds
Bm
Ole’ dog hides his head
 beneath the bed and whines
A
Blond hair and yellow light
 looks like golden twine
G                                 D
We’ve both seen that silhouette before
      A                         D
I got bad news a knockin’ at my door


    D
The rhythm wrappin’
 on the rusty front door screen
Bm
Sounds like a hurricane
 blew up from New Orleans
      A
She’s totin’ stolen aces
 best I got is queens
           G
We’ve been through this
                D
A time or two before
      A                         D
I got bad news a knockin’ at my door


   G
We met up in San Angelo
    D
And crossed the Rio Grande
            A
Thumbed her way to Matamoras
      G               D
Had a mystic read her hand
     G
That Diablo woman told me
       D
"I see trouble up ahead"
       A
She’ll turn you inside out
             G                 D
And make you wish that you was dead

Bm

D
  I pulled the curtain back
   from the window-pane
   Bm
My worst fear was confirmed
 it was her there in the rain
  A
I wish that she was gone
 and I was on a train
G                              Bm
Headed some where West of Baltimore
      A                         D
I got bad news a knockin’ at my door
      A                         Bm
I got bad news a knockin’ at my door
      A                         D
I got bad news a knockin’ at my door
