Em           Em(maj7) Em7  Em(maj7)  Em
I think I'll rob a    train
    Em(maj7)      Em7     Em(maj7)   Em
And move to South America
       Em(maj7)   Em   Em(maj7)
Wander off in the rain
         Asus2/F#    B     Em
Come off smiling and dry
        Em(maj7)     Em7   Em(maj7)  Em
Legend, fortune, and fame
      Em(maj7)        Em7       Em(maj7)  Em
I can be the stuff of headlines
        Em(maj7)  Em7  Em(maj7)
Another household name
      Asus2/F#       B
To be discarded with time


CHORUS

A B C (play A and B as pickup notes to a full C chord)

C              G                          D
If there's one thing I've learned in this life of crime
C                               G                     D
When it's all over split up the money and go your own way
C                           G             D
If you get caught don't say nothing, just stay in line
C                                  G             (stop)
Til' your chance comes and you can make your next       getaway

Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7) x2

Em           Em(maj7) Em7     Em(maj7)  Em
    I must admit it's strange
      Em(maj7)         Em7       Em(maj7)  Em
These visions of empty ballrooms
        Em(maj7)       Em7
And the sound of a sad refrain
       Asus2/F#            B    Em
Like a smoke ring floating by
        Em(maj7)     Em7   Em(maj7)  Em
But the omen already came
       Em(maj7)  Em7       Em(maj7)  Em
In the form of a pear tree
           Em(maj7) Em7  Em(maj7)
That grows out of a cave
       Asus/F#      B
Into a crystal waterfall

CHORUS

G  O #1 RHYTHM

Repeat these chords x3:

Em F# G
A B C

F# and B are just individual notes, not the full chords.

Then once more with a second ending:

A B C
A B C

E|E|---------------------|-|
NOTE: The second guitar from the choruses (again, standard tuning with no capo) reappears during the solo with

D E F
D E F

E|---------------------|

Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7) x2

Em          Em(maj7) Em7     Em(maj7)  Em
   And as a child I  dreamed
     Em(maj7) Em7   Em(maj7)  Em
That I was Geronimo
            Em(maj7)  Em7    Em(maj7)
And all the gifts I received
             Asus2/F#                   B
Were from my enemies and all my friends alike

CHORUS

G  O #2 RHYTHM
Repeat x7

Em F# G
A B C

Then once more with a second ending:

Em F# G
A B C
A B C
