[Verse 1]
G
I went downtown to see my cousin
G
He plays guitar like a chainsaw buzzin'
G
In the crowd I see his mom and dad
  N.C.
I said, hey uncle, man your son is bad
    C                    G
Sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
       D                  C             G       D
I said cool is a rule but sometimes bad is bad

[Verse 2]
G
Across the street, a neon sign
G
All you can eat for a dollar ninety-nine
G
This old stew is the baddest in the land
    N.C.
But one dollar's worth was all that I could stand
    C                       G
Sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
       D                   C                G    D
I said cool is a rule, but sometimes bad is bad

[Verse 3]
       G
I came back uptown to see my Marie
G
Nobody home, so I opened the door with my key
N.C.                                   G#
I love you baby was the note that I read
G             N.C.
But there's a strange pair of shoes underneath the bed
    C                       G
Sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
       D                   C             G      D
I said cool is a rule, but sometimes bad is bad
