The Life And Death Of John Dillinger chords by
Wilf Carter
Wilf Carter

N/A
Verse 1
C
F

There's a home in Indiana,
C
G
C

where once was shared great joy.

When parents loved and worshipped
F
C

their curly -headed boy,

Was very soon decided
F
C

he'd take his father's name,
F
C

And following his footsteps,
G
C

they wished on him great fame.
F
C

His son grew into manhood
G
C

and started out to roam.

And much against his parents,
F
C

he left his friends and home.

He journeyed through the city,
F
C

to him fate did resign.
F
C

His son led to his downfall,
G
C

he committed his first crime.
F
C

The law was sun upon him,
G
C

he landed up in jail.

His friends could not get pardon,
F
C

nor could they go his bail.

One night he broke for freedom
F
C

by using a wooden gun.
F
C

His guard was easily buffaloed,
G
C

his clever trick had won.
F
C

And then began the manhunt,
G
C

the greatest ever known.

With plots and plans to trap him,
F
C

with brains and skill were shown.

His draw was fast as lightning,
F
C

rewards stood on his head.
F
C

Go bring in this great criminal,
G
C

whether he be alive or dead.
F
C

It happened in Chicago,
G
C

thus noted for its fame.

The home of noted gangsters,
F
C

where many a man is slain.

He was taking in a picture,
F
C

when a woman tipped the law.
F
C

Three bullets pierced his body,
G
C

he had not a chance to draw.
F
C

The great man hunt is ended,
G
C

the innocent must pay.

When they have to stop the bullets,
F
C

that chance to go astray.

So young men take my warning,
F
C

this crime it does not pay.
F
C

And think of Johnny Dillinger,
G

when he met his fatal day.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
