She met a [Dm]man she [C]liked, she thought she'd [Am]stay with [Dm]him,
one day he fought with [C]them, they did [Am]away with [Dm]him.

One day they [Dm]robbed a [C]bank, it was their [Am]last [Dm]foray,
the cops appeared too [C]soon, they couldn't [Am]get [Dm]away.
And all the [C]loot they [Dm]had, it made them [C]mighty [Dm]mad.
