[A] [Em] [E]
I'm a gangster, [G] 1934, junkies, widos, pimps and whores, [A] and only men, women and kids.
[E] Get out of the way, I just left your town, took all your [G] loot, a pink carnation and a
two-toned suit, [D] I'm not the V8 Ford, [E] it was them two-toned shoes.
And I'm [G] already gone, [A] I left the pool, my blood and sorrow, I got the machine gun [E] blues.
[G]
[A] [Em]
I'ma be outta here for a ring of [G] diamonds in the highway, smoke a big cigar, [A] got a stock
and battery to cash, [E] then get some more, that's all here walking on my [G] mind, that's making
a cross, that'll stay alive, [D] I'm a hell of a vanishing bullet, [E] waiting to have my way.
And I'm [G] already gone, [D] I left the bath, a pure destruction, [A] I got the machine gun blues.
[E] [G] And I'm already gone, [A] my life was so mid-flow, I got the machine gun [E] blues.
I'm public enemy number one, [G] I'm sorry for all the things that I've done, [D] if indeed we
do cross paths, [E] it's not that personal.

[E] And I'm already [G] gone, [A] I left the toilet, a devastation, I got the machine gun [E] blues.
And I'm [G] already gone, [A] my life was so mid-flow, I got the machine gun [E] blues.
