Tiger Lillies - Bank robber blues
Dm
Well just out of prison
Dm
streets seem so cold and blue
Gm Dm
Don’t know what to do
A
Family don’t want me and
A Dm
I’m feeling blue
Dm
Well walk into a bank and put a
Dm
gun to the cashier’s head
Gm
The cashier presses an alarm
Gm Dm
now the cashier is dead
A Dm
I fill her full of lead
Dm
Well have-a-go hero thinks he
Dm
knows what to do
Gm
He tries to rush me
Gm Dm
now he’s dead too
A
Well I ain’t got any money
A Dm
I feel blue
Dm
A policeman walks in
Dm
and he’s got a gun
Gm
I beat him to the trigger
Dm
his life is gone
A Dm
I make for the exit but in comes another one
Dm
Bang bang bang
Dm
go our guns
Gm
I hit him in the head
Gm Dm
his blood starts to run
A Dm
I make for the midday sun
Dm
Police are waiting for me
Dm
my life flashes by
Gm Dm
I know I’m gonna die
A
If you got a conscience
A Dm
for me you can cry
Dm
