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 im 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 : E , G , D , E ( x3 )
