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

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