             Dm      C              Am   Dm
She was the meanest cat, in old Chicago town,
                     C               Am         Dm
she was the meanest cat, she really mowed them down.
            C       Dm             C       Dm
She had no heart at all, no no no heart at all.

             Dm      C               Am    Dm
She was the meanest cat, oh she was really tough,
                       C              Am     Dm
she left her husband flat, he wasn't tough enough.
              C     Dm                   C
She took her boys along, 'cos they were mean
     Dm
and strong.

Chorus:
         Dm
Ma-ma-ma-ma
    C         A#              A              Dm
Ma Baker she taught her four sons, Ma-ma-ma-ma.
    C         A#           A              Dm
Ma Baker, to handle their guns. Ma-ma-ma-ma.
    C         A#           A            Dm
Ma baker she never could cry, Ma-ma-ma-ma.
    C              Am          Dm C Am Dm C Am
Ma Baker, but she knew how to die.

They left a trail of crime across the USA
And when one boy was killed she really made them pay
She had no heart at all — no, no, no heart at all

Chorus

Then came a man she liked, she thought she'd stay
with him
When he informed on them they did away with him
She didn't care at all, just didn't care at all

Don't anybody move!
The money or your lives!

One day they robbed a bank, it was their last foray
The cops appeared too soon, they couldn't get away
And all the loot they had, it made them mighty mad
And so they shot it out, Ma Baker and her sons
They didn't want to hang, they died with blazing
guns
And so the story ends of one who left no friends

Chorus - x2
