 Am                      Em
He is a hustler, he’s no good at all
 D                        Am
He is a loser, he’s a bum-bum-bum-bum
 Am                        Em
He lies, he fluffs, he’s unreliable
 D                        Am
He’s is a sucker with a gun-gun-gun-gun
 Am                        Em
I know you told me I should stay away
 D                        Am
I know you said he’s just a dog astray-ay
 Am                       Em
He is a rebel with a tained heart
 D                        Am
And even I know this ain’t smart

 Am                        Em
But, mama, I’m in love with a criminal
 D                        Am
And this type of love isn’t rational, it’s physical
 Am                       Em
Mamma, please don’t cry, I will be all right
 D                       Am
All reason aside, I just can’t deny I love that guy

(Am  Em  D  Am)

 Am                          Em
He is a villain by the devil’s law
 D                          Am
He is a killer just for fun-fun-fun-fun
 Am                          Em
That man’s a snitch, he’s unpredictable
 D                          Am
He’s got no punches, he got none-none-none-none
 Am        Em
Oh-oh I kno-ow
 D                   Am
Should’ve let go, but no
 Am                       Em
‘Cause he’s a rebel with a tained heart
 D                      Am
And even I know this ain’t smart

Am                        Em
But, mama, I’m in love with a criminal
 D                        Am
And this type of love isn’t rational, it’s physical
 Am                       Em
Mamma, please don’t cry, I will be all right
 D                       Am
All reason aside, I just can’t deny I love that guy

 Em             D
And he’s got my name
 Am                           Em
Tatooed on his arm , his lucky charm
 Em            D
So I guess it’s okay
 Am
He’s with me
 Em                       D
And we hear people talk (people talk)
 Am                       G
Trying to make remarks, keep us apart
 Em               D
But I don’t even hear
 Am           Em
I don’t care

(Am  Em  D  Am)

 Am                        Em
But, mama, I’m in love with a criminal
 D                        Am
And this type of love isn’t rational, it’s physical
 Am                       Em
Mamma, please don’t cry, I will be all right
 D                       Am
All reason aside, I just can’t deny I love that guy
Am                        Em
But, mama, I’m in love with a criminal
 D                        Am
And this type of love isn’t rational, it’s physical
 Am                       Em
Mamma, please don’t cry, I will be all right
 D                       Am
All reason aside, I just can’t deny I love that guy

(Am  Em  D  Am)
