                             BAD BLOOD - Bear's Den
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the rhythm only. When they play it live, it's done in Drop D tuning. I've shown how I think they 
play the chords, though it sounds fine to me in Standard tuning playing the chords as you usually would.

Well you give me no reason to doubt your word

Well I'll slash the tyCresEm,       DAnd I'll lock the doCorEm  D  
So no one gets oCut if there's a rupEmture to the strDucture of this house that we buCilt
And I fuEmcked it and I fuDcked it and I fucked it uCntil
Those woEmlves they toDok all they coEmuldEm

As I walked down the road, of old St. Augustin,
I reGcall a choir singing out in woCrship,

Well the tighter you hold, yeah she's still going to go,
