  # This is as close as my ear could get it.  The problem

  # is there really isn't any straight guitar playing.

  # The intro lines are what I play along with the initial

  # humming.  As always, corrections encouraged.

  [G]My Daddy was a [C]bankrob[G]ber

  [G]But he never hurt no[C]bo[G]dy

  [G]He just loved to [C]live that [G]way

  And he [C]loved to [D]steal your [G]money

  [G]Some is rich, and [C]some is [G]poor

  [G]That's the way the [C]world [G]is

  [G]But I don't believe in [C]lying [G]back

  [C]Sayin' how [D]bad your [G]luck is

  

  So we came to jazz it up

  We never loved a shovel

  Break your back to earn your pay

  An' don't forget to grovel

  

  The old man spoke up in a bar

  Said I never been in prison

  A lifetime serving one machine

  Is ten times worse than prison

  

  Imagine if all the boys in jail

  Could get out now together

  Whadda you think they'd want to say to us?

  While we was being clever

  

  Someday you'll meet your rocking chair

  Cos that's where we're spinning

  There's no point to wanna comb your hair

  When it's grey and thinning

  

  Run rabbit run

  Strike out boys, for the hills

  I can find that hole in the wall

  And I know that they never will
