Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Verse 1: E His driver’s license said James, he went by Jim Bm A gangster wannabe, yeah baby, that was him E He stole his uncle’s 44 last Friday night A Said if I wanted in, we’d have to plan this thing just right E We’ll need the gloves, we’ll need the bags, a couple masks Bm We’ll need to steal a car with windows tinted black E
