[D]
[D] I was born in the middle of a storm by the mile from the Natchez Trace.
My mama died and my sister cried.
There was fourteen children to raise.
[G] We was living in a shack by the railroad track.
The winter was a-freezing cold.
[Dm] But I was wearing boots.
I could fight and shoot before I was ten years old.
[G] My brother was down in Jackson Town doing life without parole.
[D] The band was Blood.
[Dm] My daddy had a steel that took the heel [D] to the devil.
He sure can rock.
Daddy met him at the door with a .44
and he shot him right between the eyes.
[G] Sent him to his maker in a shallow grave.
Dug it in the pouring rain.
[D] And daddy said, son, I'm gonna have to run.
I'm leaving on the midnight train.
[C] But before I go, I want you to know [G] what's flowing in your veins.
[D] Bad blood.
[A]
He [G] said, it's time you knew what's a-coming to you.
[D] Like my daddy passed it on to me.
[G] There ain't no escape like a copperhead snake [D] crawling up the family tree.
And all the while [C] the devil smiles.
[G] Feasting on the [Bb] rising flood [D] of bad blood.
[C] [D] Well, I left home when I was barely grown and forgot about the family curse.
I met Rosalie down in New Orleans and I married her for better or worse.
[G] Then late one night she got me in a fight.
Working with another man.
And [D] my blood ran quick and it made me sick.
And he died there in my [A] hands.
[C] And deep inside I felt a crimson tide [G] burn me like brand [D] bad blood.
And I could hear my [Dm] daddy's voice still ringing in my ear.
He [G] said, it's time you knew what's a-coming to you.
[D] Like my daddy passed it on [Dm] to me.
[G] There ain't no escape like [Dm] a copperhead snake [D] crawling up the family tree.
And all the [C] while the devil smiles.
[G] Feasting on the rising [Bb] flood of [D] bad blood.
I got bad blood flowing in my veins.
And there ain't no escape like a [Dm] copperhead snake.
Bad blood.
[A] [D] Sent him to his maker in the shallow [A] grave.
Dug it in the pouring rain.
