I Must Have Done Something Bad
Recorded by George Jones
Written by Red Lane
[3/4 time]
CI must have done something bad C7sometime in my Flife
And I paid for it Ctime and G7again
CBut this time you've hurt me so bad I C7could lay down and Fdie
And the pain grows each Cday tG7en times ten times tCen
If I thought my hand was against you why C7I'd cut off my Farm
And I'd walk off and Cleave it beG7hind
CIf I thought that you needed money why I'd C7sell my own Fsoul
And I'd even Csteal from the G7poor and the Cblind
I can't understand how ice can C7glitter like Ffire
Why you had me Cfooled all aG7lone
CI gave you all that I had then I C7searched around for Fmore
And now I've got Cnothing at G7all and you're Cgone
I must have done something bad C7sometime in my Flife
And I paid for it Ctime and G7again and aCgain

Recorded by George Jones

Written by Red Lane

[3/4 time]

C C7 F

I must have done something bad sometime in my life

C G7

And I paid for it time and again

C C7 F

But this time you've hurt me so bad I could lay down and die

C G7 C

And the pain grows each day ten times ten times ten

C7 F

If I thought my hand was against you why I'd cut off my arm

C G7

And I'd walk off and leave it behind

C C7 F

If I thought that you needed money why I'd sell my own soul

C G7 C

And I'd even steal from the poor and the blind

C7 F

I can't understand how ice can glitter like fire

C G7

Why you had me fooled all alone

C C7 F

I gave you all that I had then I searched around for more

C G7 C

And now I've got nothing at all and you're gone

C7 F

I must have done something bad sometime in my life

C G7 C

And I paid for it time and again and again
