Im So Bad

Song: I'm So Bad

Artist: Oingo Boingo

Album: Oingo Boingo E.P.

Written by: Danny Elfman

Tabbed by: boingo692x@mail.telis.org

It seems like their using a slide, so I tried to tab it out so that it's

possible to play with a slide on your pinky, without detuning the guitar

INTRO(palm muted except on the last two notes) Repeat four times

Repeat four times, play Fig.2, and do the same thing for the next verse.

Then it plays the intro again.

Late at night... (play as power chord if you want it to sound fuller)

Intro plays again under "I'll get you"

I was born inside a cage...(I've got the bass and guitar tabbed together, and

you have to take off the slide for this part.)

Then it goes back to the Intro, and the rest of the song follows the same

patterns.

I'm So Bad

Can't seem to find my way

Someone tell me what to say

Where am I going

Where did I come from

I don't know, I don't know

Almost got to paradise

But the smoke always gets

in my eyes

Everything I do is wrong

I'm so bad . . . so bad

Late at night, they're asleep

I'm awake, get the urge

Hit the street, jump a curb

Alleyway, dark and wet

Set the trap, I forget

Who I am. But I know

I'll get you . . I'm so bad

I was born inside a cage

Never knew anything but rage

Although I tried so hard to adjust

Love is something I don't understand

Take what I need and I get what I can

OH . . . I'm so bad

I wake up in the morning so tired

Dreamt that I was walking through fire

The fire didn't hurt me though

We're old friends

Can't seem to find my way

Someone tell me what to say

Everything I do is wrong

Pass the time, lie in bed

Hotel room, T.V. set

Got to move, might be dead

Catch a ride, I'm awake

Join a crowd, hidden blade

Buy a drink, you better pray

I don't get you

I'm so bad . . . so bad
