Dillinger Eyes - Jeremy Messersmith
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Macflash
Fantastic artist, fantastic album. I just saw a live version of this on YouTube
and tabbed it out real quick.
This song is all basic chords except for a little riff he plays with his pinky
over the D chord in the first part of the verse.

[D]I found honest work and [C]lord knows I [G]tried
[D]I found honest work and [C]lord knows I [G]tried
[G7]Robbed a bank and [D7]ran from the fuzz
[G7]They asked the teller [D7]just who I was
[G7]She said "I don't know, but he [C7]had John Dillinger's [A7]eyes!"
Repeat for the other verses:
For five long years I was wanted by the FBI
For five long years I was wanted by the FBI
I was shooting pool at the hall
Saw my poster up on the wall
"Ain't that you? You got John Dillinger's eyes!"
I caught one in my chest and two in my thigh
I caught one in my chest and two in my thigh
I saw a man rush to my side
Took a photograph as I died
And all because I was born with John Dillinger's eyes!
That newspaper man won the Pulitzer Prize
That newspaper man won the Pulitzer Prize
He keeps it by his bed on a shelf
But one thing that he'll never tell
Every day he thanks god for those John Dillinger's eyes!
