Chorus: E I'm just a bad boy, Long long ways from home. A I'm just a bad boy, E Long long ways from home. B But I ain't got nobody C B7 E To bury me when I'm dead and gone. E Well I'm the cat that scratches And I'm like a dog that bites. I'll be your box of matches, baby, When you need a light. Chorus I used to have a little girl Only 16 years old But her mom and dad put me way out Way out in the cold I can't stay here no longer My luck is running slow Got to keep on moving But I've got no place to go Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  E  B  B7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
