E
Well I'm a gangster 1934
G
Junkies, Winos, Pimps & Whores, And all you
D E
men, women and kids best get out the way
E
I just left your town, took all your loot,
G
bought a pink carnation and a pinstripe suit,
D E
a hopped-up V8 Ford and some two-tone shoes
E G D
And I'm already gone, I left a pool of blood and sorrow
A
I've got the Machine Gun Blues

E
I'll be out of here for the break of dawn,
G
I'll hit the highway, smoke a big cigar,
D E
got to stop and bury the cash, and get some more
E
There's only one thing on my mind, that's
G
making it across that ol' state line, Without
D
a hail of avenging bullets,
E
waiting there for me
E G D
And I'm already gone, I've left a path of pure destruction,
A
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
E G D
Already gone, my life will soon be through,
A
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
E
I'm public enemy #1
G
I'm sorry for the things that I've done
D E
If indeed we do cross path, it's nothing personal
solo 1: E, G, D, E (x2)
E G D
And I’m already gone, I've left a trail of devastation,
A
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
E G D
Already gone, my life will soon be through,
A
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
Solo 2: E, G, D, E (x3)
