[G]
[D] [E]
[G]
[A] [Em] [E]
I'm a gangster, [G] 1934, junkies, widos, pimps and whores, [A] and all you men, women and kids,
[E] let's get out of the way.
I just left your town, took all your loot, [G] bought a pink darnation and a pinstripe [D] suit,
popped up a V8 Ford, [E] pulled some two-tone shoes, and I'm [G] already gone.
[A] I left the pool for blood and sorrow, I got no machine gun [E] blues.
[G]
[A] [Em]
I'll be outta here for the ring of dawn, [G] hit the highway, smoke a big cigar,
[A] got a stock, I'm bad at the cash, [E] let me get some more.
That's all involving, all my [G] mind, that's making a cross, that'll all stay alive,
[D] I'm a hell of a vanishing bullet, [E] waiting death on me.
And I'm already [G] gone.
[D] I left the path of pure destruction, [A] I got no machine gun blues.
[E] I'm already [G] gone.
[A] My life is still in the flow, I got no machine gun [E] blues.
I'm public enemy number one, [G] I'm sorry for all the things that I've done,
[D] if indeed we do cross paths, [E] it's nothing personal.
If
[D]
[D] [E]
indeed we do [G] cross [D] paths, it's nothing personal.
[E]
And I'm already [G] gone.
[A] I left the trail of devastation, I got no machine gun [E] blues.
[G] I'm already gone.
[A] My life is still in the flow, I got no machine gun blues.
[E] I'm [G]
