 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 bluffs, 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 bad boy with a tainted 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 bad boy with a tainted heart
 D                      Am
And even I know this ain’t smart

Am                        Em
But, mama, I’m in love with a criminal
 D                        Am

 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

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

( Am  Em  D  Am )

 Am                        Em
'Cause mama, I’m in love with a criminal
