[Chorus 1] G
My daddy was a bankrobber,
Am G
But he never hurt no-body.
C D
He just loved to live that way,
C D G
And he loved to steal your money.
[Verse 1] G
Some is rich, and some is poor,
Am G
That's the way the world is.
C D
But i don't believe in lying back,
C D G
Sayin' how bad your luck is.
G
So we came to jazz it up,
Am G
We never loved a shovel.
C D
Break your back to earn your pay,
C D G
An' don't for-get to grovel.
[Chorus 2] G
Daddy was a bankrobber
Am G
But he never hurt no-body
C D
He just loved to live that way
C D G
And he loved to take your money

[Verse 2] G
The old man spoke up in a bar
Am G
Said i never been in prison
C D
A lifetime serving one ma-chine
C D G
Is ten times worse than prison
G
Imagine if all the boys in jail
Am G
Could now get out to-gether
C D
Whadda you think they'd want to say to us?
C D G
While he was being clever
G
Someday you'll meet your rocking chair
Am G
'Cos that's where we're spinning
C D
There's no poiunt to wanna comb your hair
C D G
When it's grey and thinning

[Chorus 3] As chorus 1
