and tabbed it out real quick.


This song is all basic chords except for a little riff he plays with his pinky 
over the D chord in the first part of the verse.

D                       C            G
I found honest work and lord knows I tried

D                       C            G
I found honest work and lord knows I tried


G7                D7
Robbed a bank and ran from the fuzz

G7                    D7
They asked the teller just who I was

G7                             C7                   A7
She said "I don't know, but he had John Dillinger's eyes!"




Repeat for the other verses:

For five long years I was wanted by the FBI
For five long years I was wanted by the FBI
I was shooting pool at the hall
Saw my poster up on the wall
"Ain't that you? You got John Dillinger's eyes!"

I caught one in my chest and two in my thigh
I caught one in my chest and two in my thigh
I saw a man rush to my side
Took a photograph as I died
And all because I was born with John Dillinger's eyes!

That newspaper man won the Pulitzer Prize
That newspaper man won the Pulitzer Prize
He keeps it by his bed on a shelf
But one thing that he'll never tell
Every day he thanks god for those John Dillinger's eyes!
