One-armded, half-blind and
crippled in his mind,

He swore to kill that stranger for this one bad thing he done.
C G
For three long years, he practiced until he could use the gun!
C G
Heart of stone--he lived alone, and he lived on beans and eggs.
Folks could tell what time it was
D
by the egg
C
running down

his face!
C G
Bad blood -- will drive you crazy
C G
Bad blood -- I've heard men say
C G G /F# Em
Bad blood -- is like an egg stain on your chin
G D G
you can lick it but it still won't go away
G D G
For four more years he roamed around until his legs was worn away.
C G
Then he bummed around from town to town, "Has a stranger passed this way?
C G
The man I'm looking for has two eyes, but he's a one-breed dirty dog.
When I find him,
D
I'm gonna shoot him!
C
--Don't you laugh at me!
'Cos man, unhuh...
G
I'm really pissed!
G D G
The stagecoach jingle-jangled into town one hot mid-afternoon.
C G
He saw the stranger get off near the Seborrhoea Saloon, C G
And just as he was easin' in, a lumberjack rolled out.
And shot him dead,
D
then One-Eye said:
C
"Hey you,
mutton-head!
G
I've been lookin' for that particular son-of-a-bitch for nearly seven years, man!
You've just spoiled everything! I could have been a doctor or an architect!"
C G
Bad blood -- will drive you crazy (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
C G
Bad blood -- I've heard men say
C G G /F# Em
Bad blood -- is like an egg stain on your chin
G D G
you can lick it but it still won't go away
