[Verse 1]
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 
 
[Chorus]
E               G              D
And I'm already gone, I left a pool of blood and sorrow
A
I've got the Machine Gun Blues

[Bridge]
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
 
[Chorus]
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]
E, G, D, E (x2)
 
[Chorus]
E               G                 D
And I’m 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 
 
[Solo 2]
