          AWell, bad news travels like wildfire, good news travels slow.

They call me "Wildfire", 'cause ev'rybody knows
      D7                                 AI'm bad news ev'rywhere I go.
E7Always gettin' into trouble
                                                                   AAnd leavin' little girls that hate to see me go.

AThey tried to hang me in Oakland and they did in Fransisco.

But I wouldn't choke, I broke their rope and they had to let me go,
                 D7                                 A'cause I'm bad news ev'rywhere I go.
E7Always gettin' into trouble
                                                                   AAnd leavin' little girls that hate to see me go.

                   ANow, from north to south to east to west, the story is the same.

From one state to another I have to change my name,
                 D7                                 A'cause I'm bad news ev'rywhere I go.
E7Always gettin' into trouble
                                                                   AAnd leavin' little girls that hate to see me go.

|     B     |     B     |     B     |

BWell, now I picked peaches in Georgia, I lumberjacked in Maine.

I've been hired, fired and jailed; any town you can name,
                 E7                                 B'cause I'm bad news ev'rywhere I go.
F#7Always gettin' into trouble
                                                                   BAnd leavin' little girls that hate to see me go.
