VERSE II:Use the same chords form the first verse.(In some live versions, Bruce does a little note picking when the chords change. It seemed easy enoungh to tab out. A|7-----| Workin' in the fiedls E|-7-5-7| Till you get your back burned Workin' 'neath the wheel Till you get your facts learned Baby I got my facts Learned real good right now You better get it straight darling Poor man wanna be rich, Rich man wanna be king And a king ain't satisfied Till he rules everything I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got Well I believe in the love that you gave me I believe in the love that you gave me I believe in the faith that could save me I believe in the hope And I pray that some day It may raise me above these CHORUS: Same chords as before. INTERLUDE:
Emmmmmmmm, Ammmmm, Bmmmmmm X4 VERSE III:Still the same chords. Turn your guitar up, and palm mute The chords as you play them.
For the ones who had a notion, A notion deep inside That it ain't no sin To be glad you're alive I wanna find one face That ain't looking through me I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these badlands CHORUS: Same chords. End with: BADLANDS! WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA X4 OUTRO(optional):This is yet another thing Bruce does in some live versions.
