Machine Gun Blues

• E

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  
 

break: 
 
 

 

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 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
