Bad Company

Bad Company (Paul Rodgers-Simon Kirke)

This is essentially a simple piano song which I Paul playing with Queen last year. The

guitar parts are on the other Tabs. This is a only a rough cribsheet for playing it live.

Key on my Anthology CD is Ebm but I imagine it is Em or Dm really. This version is in Dm

the Em version is below.

For the verses the piano and bass play the notes a c d (Em b d e)at the start of the phrases.

Dm Csus4 C Dm

Company always on the run

Dm Csus4 C Dm

Destiny is a rising sun, oh

Dm Csus4 C Dm

I was born, six gun in my hand

Dm Csus4 C Dm

Behind a gun, I'll make my final stand

Dm Dm

That's why they call me

F G Dm C/D Dm

Bad Company, but I can't deny

F G Dm

Bad Company, 'til the day I die

Dm C/D Dm etc

'Til the day I die, 'til the day I die

Riffs before and after Solo

Dm Dm C C F C Am

Dm Dm

Dm Dm C C F C Am

F C Dm

Rebel souls, deserters we are called

Chose a gun, and threw away the sun

Now these towns, they all know our name

Six gun sound is our claim to fame

I can hear them say, Bad Company, and I won't deny

Bad Company, 'til the day I die

'Til the day I die

Bad Company, I can't deny

Bad Company, 'til the day I die

And I said, Bad Company, oh yeah yeah

Bad Company, 'til the day I die

'Cause I'm young and I'm free

Oh, but I'm in Bad Company
