[Verse 4]
                       Dm         C                         Am     Dm
One day they robbed a bank, it was their last foray,
                              C                                   Am   Dm
the cops appeared too soon, they couldn't get away.
                   C             Dm                        C          Dm
And all the loot they had, it made them mighty mad.

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