Riding in the back seat

Rolling through the neighborhood

Brought up in the back streets

Wouldn't change if he could

It's better than the factory

Or the shopping mall where you work

Johnny doesn't actually

Have to load the gun to make it work
[Chorus]

To the Halifax where she worked

G
Gotta love Sally

    C                     D
She didn't flinch when he burst

G
In through the doorway

       C                  D
With a sawn-off under his shirt

    G
She knew in the worst way

     C                  D
That he was the man for her

And I'll steal from the rich

I'll give to the poor

            C
I'll stop police from

                  Em
Knocking down the door

           A
I steal it all

                Bm
Then I'll steal more

               C
And I'll never end up

                               C
"There's a few things that are true

                D
In this life of wonder,

G         
Everybody hates the law,

    C       D
And everyone loves a bank

G       
robber, robber, robber

                C
robber, robber, robber!"
