^EmWhere, I cannot ^Csay ^EmSomewhere far a^Cway ^DMaybe to the ^CStates Where ^Dno one knows^C my face

So ^GMay, take care of the kids Tell them I ^Dlove them I'll send a few ^Cquid when I can I ^Gknow, this is no kind of life But you've got to be ^Dstrong When you're a^C fugitive's wife ^{Em G C Em G C}

I'm ^Emcalling from some ^Cbooth And ^Emno, I can't come^C home ^DThis is not good^Cbye I ^Dlove you more^C than life

So ^GMay, take care of the kids Tell them I ^Dlove them I'll send a few ^Cquid when I can I ^Gknow, this is no kind of life But you've got to be ^Dstrong When you're a^C fugitive's wife ^{Em G C Em G C Em}

The streets are much too ^Cquiet ^D The shops all locked^C up tight There's ^Dnot one soul^C in sight
