Tom: G
   
 Am                      Em
He is a hustler, he’s no good at all
 
Am                        Em
He lies, he bluffs, he’s unreliable
 
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
 
Am                          Em
That man’s a snitch, he’s unpredictable
 
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
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
F               Am
And he’s got my name
G              Am
Tatooed on his arm , his lucky charm
F               Am
So I guess its 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
 
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
