Em
He is a hustler
       D
He's no good at all
Am                   G        Bm
He is a loser, he's a bum, bum, bum, bum
Em
He lies, he bluffs
    D
He's unreliable.
Am                   G        Bm
He is a sucker with a gun, gun, gun, gun


Em
I know you told me
        D
I should stay away.
Am
I know you said
           G    Bm
He's just a dog astray.
Em                   D
He is a rebel with a tainted heart
Am                  G     Bm
And even I know this ain't smart

[Chorus]

Em                        D
But mama im in love with a criminal
Am
And this type of love
     G             Bm
Isn't rational, it's physical
Em
Mama please don't cry
      D
I will be alright
Am
All reasons inside
      G
I just cant deny
Bm
Love the guy


Em                    D
He is a villain of the devil's law
Am                     G        Bm
He is a killer just for fun, fun, fun, fun
Em                          D
That man's a snitch and unpredictable,
Am
He's got no conscious
      G          Bm
He got none, none, none, none

Em  D             Am        G  Bm
All I know, should let go, but no
Em                        D 
'cause he's a rebel with a tainted heart
Am                    G   Bm
And even I know this ain't smart

[Chorus]

Em                        D
But mama im in love with a criminal
Am
And this type of love
     G             Bm
Isn't rational, it's physical
Em
Mama please don't cry
      D
I will be alright
Am
All reasons inside
      G
I just cant deny
Bm
Love the guy

[Bridge]

G                 Em  D
And he's got my name
          C
Tatooed on his arm
His lucky charm,
G             Em
So I guess its okay
         D  C
He's with me

G                 Em  D
And I hear people talk
            C
Trying to make remarks
Keep us apart
G               Em
But I don't even hear
         D  C
I don't care

[Chorus]

Em                        D
But mama i'm in love with a criminal
Am
And this type of love
     G             Bm
Isn't rational, it's physical
Em
Mama please don't cry
      D
I will be alright
Am
All reasons inside
      G
I just cant deny
Bm
Love the guy
