Intro: C 

                       G 
Here I am in my own Badlands 
C      F        C      G 
Here I wait and here I stand 
     C         F       C       G 
Went searching for the distant past 
      F                              C 
Found three red rocks and a piece of glass 
             G 
In my own Badlands  
      F      C 
In my own Badlands 
             G 
In my own Badlands  
      F      C 
In my own Badlands 


                                    G     F 
And the redstone, ironstone scoured land 
                         C        
Rock of ages in coloured bands 
                     F           C          G 
And I climbed to the top, to the top of the hill 
     F                                C 
If I hadn't come down I'd be climbing still 
             G 
In my own Badlands  
      F      C 
In my own Badlands 
             G 
In my own Badlands  
      F      C 
In my own Badlands 


        G                             C 
And the Red Deer River runs muddy and brown 
              F           C      G 
Choked by the dust of the hills around 
        C          F   C        G 
And the sun in the sky standing still 
        F                             C 
And the river's rolling and it always will 
                  G 
Through my own Badlands 
           F      C 
Through my own Badlands 
                  G 
Through my own Badlands 
           F      C 
Through my own Badlands 


                  F             C        G 
You can count the layers of the past and gone 
        F                            C 
You can smell the rain of the coming storm 
          F       C        G 
Inside my head is just the same 
     F                           C 
It's cracked and dry and needing rain 
             G 
In my own Badlands  
      F      C 
In my own Badlands 
             G 
In my own Badlands  
      F      C 
In my own Badlands
