[A7] [D7] [A7] [E7] [D7] [A7]
Verse 1
[A7]Went uptown to see my cousin

Plays guitar, sounds like a chainsaw buzzin'

In the crowd, I see his mom and dad

I said "Hey, hey, Uncle, man your son is bad"

Chorus
But [D7]sometimes, sometimes bad is [A7]bad
I said ?[E7]Cool is a rule, but, [D7]sometimes, bad is [A7]bad.?

Verse 2
[A7]Across the street, a neon sign

All you can eat for a dollar ninety nine

?Our soul stew is the baddest in the land.?

But one dollar's worth was all that I could stand

Chorus

Solo
[A7] [D7] [A7] [E7] [D7] [A7]
Verse 3
[A7]Back uptown to see Marie

Nobody home, I opened the door with my key

"I love you, Huey" was the note I read

But there's a strange pair of shoes underneath the bed

chorus

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.

Two versions of chords listed at the top of this song. Chords
shown at left are standard, while alternate chords shown at
right are jazz voicings. Play the one which sounds best to you,
or use your own.
