Ma Baker

1. [Dm] She was the meanest [C] cat, in old [Dm] Chicago town
She was the meanest [C] cat, she really [Dm] mowed them down
She had no [C] heart at [Dm] all, no no no [C] heart at [Dm] all

2. [Dm] She was the meanest [C] cat, oh she was [Dm] really tough
She left her husband [C] flat, he wasn’t [Dm] tough enough
She took her [C] boys a-[Dm] long, ‘cos they were [C] mean and [Dm] strong

Chorus: Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma [C] Baker – she [Dm] taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma [C] Baker – to [Dm] handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma [C] Baker – she [Dm] never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma [C] Baker – but she knew how to [A] die

[Dm][C][Dm]-[Dm][C][Dm]-[Dm][C][Dm]-[Dm][C][Dm]

3. [Dm] They left a [C] trail of crime across the [Dm] U.S. A.
And when one boy was [C] killed, she really [Dm] made them pay
She had no [C] heart at [Dm] all, no no no [C] heart at [Dm] all

4. [Dm] She met a man she [C] liked, she thought she’d [Dm] stay with him
One day he fought with [C] them, they did a-[Dm] way with him.
She didn’t [C] care at [Dm] all, just didn’t [C] care at [Dm] all

[Dm] [C] [Dm] [Bb] [A] – [Dm] [C] [Dm] [Bb] [A]

Spoken: Don’t anybody move! The money or your lives!

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

6. [Dm] And so they shot it [C] out, Ma Baker [Dm] and her sons
They didn’t want to [C] hang, they died with [Dm] blazing guns.
and so the [C] story ends [Dm], of one who [C] left no [Dm] friends
