E5
Well I'm a gangster 1934 
G5
Junkies, Winos, Pimps & Whores, And all you 
D5                             E5
men, women and kids best get out the way 

E5
I just left your town, took all your loot, 
G5
bought a pink carnation and a pinstripe suit,
D5                             E5 
a hopped-up V8 Ford and some two-tone shoes 

E5               G5              D5                               
And I'm already gone, I left a pool of blood and sorrow
A5
I've got the Machine Gun Blues

E5
I'll be out of here for the break of dawn, 
G5
I'll hit the highway, smoke a big cigar, 
D5                                  E5
got to stop and bury the cash, and get some more 

E5
There's only one thing on my mind, that's 
G5 
making it across that ol' state line, Without
D5
a hail of avenging bullets, 
E5
waiting there for me

E5               G5                 D5  
And I'm already gone, I've left a path of pure destruction, 
A5
I've got the Machine Gun Blues 

E5       G5      D5  
Already gone, my life will soon be through, 
A5
I've got the Machine Gun Blues 

E5
I'm public enemy #1 
G5                             
I'm sorry for the things that I've done 
D5                                        E5
If indeed we do cross path, it's nothing personal
