Song lyrics:
INTRO: E E E B A C#m B X3 (Turn distortion on here)E E A A B E Lights out tonight A B Trouble in the heartland E Got a head-on collision A B Smashin' in my guts, man E A I'm caught in a cross fire B That I don't understand But there's one thing I know for sure girl E I don't give a damn A B For the same old played out scenes E I don't give a damn A B For just the in betweens E A Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul B I want control right now A Talk about a dream Try to make it real B You wake up in the night With a fear so real A Spend your life waiting B A For a moment that just don't come B A B Well, don't waste your time waiting (Chorus) E A C#m B Badlands, you gotta live it everyday E A Let the broken hearts stand C#m B As the price you've gotta pay E We'll keep pushin' till it's understood A C#m B E E A A B And these badlands start treating us good 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: E A B mmmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm 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.
