David Francey - Badlands
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C  
Here I am in my own BadGlands
CHere I Fwait and Chere I Gstand
Went Csearching Ffor the Cdistant Gpast
Found Fthree red rocks and a piece of Cglass
In my own BadGlands 
In my Fown BadClands
In my own BadGlands 
In my Fown BadClands
And the redstone, ironstone scoured GlandF  
Rock of ages in coloured Cbands
And I climbed to the Ftop, to the Ctop of the Ghill
If I Fhadn't come down I'd be climbing Cstill
In my own BadGlands 
In my Fown BadClands
In my own BadGlands 
In my Fown BadClands
And the GRed Deer River runs muddy and Cbrown
Choked by the Fdust of the Chills aGround
And the Csun in the Fsky Cstanding Gstill
And the Friver's rolling and it always Cwill
Through my own BadGlands
Through my Fown BadClands
Through my own BadGlands
Through my Fown BadClands
You can count the Flayers of the Cpast and Ggone
You can Fsmell the rain of the coming Cstorm
Inside my Fhead is Cjust the Gsame
It's Fcracked and dry and needing Crain
In my own BadGlands 
In my Fown BadClands
In my own BadGlands 
In my Fown BadClands
INSTRUMENTAL:   C    G    F      C    G    F  C  
And the GRed Deer River runs muddy and Cbrown
Choked by the Fdust of the Chills aGround
And the Csun in the Fsky Cstanding Gstill
And the Friver's rolling and it always Cwill 
Here I am in my own BadGlands
CHere I Fwait and Chere I Gstand
And I Cfeel aFbandoned, Cquite aGlone
FDust and rock and skin and Cbone
In my own BadGlands 
In my Fown BadClands
In my own BadGlands 
In my Fown BadClands
