Lyrics & chords
[Verse 1] [C]There's a home in In[F]diana, [C]where onc[G]e was shared great joy[C]. When parents loved and worshipped their [F]curly -headed [C]boy, Was very soon decided he'd [F]take his father's [C]name, And following [F]his [C]footsteps, they [G]wished on him great [C]fame. His son grew in[F]to [C]manhood and [G]started out to [C]roam. And much against his parents, he [F]left his friends and [C]home. He journeyed through the city, to [F]him fate did [C]resign. His son led to [F]his [C]downfall, he com[G]mitted his first [C]crime. The law was [F]sun upon [C]him, he [G]landed up in [C]jail. His friends could not get pardon, nor [F]could they go his [C]bail. One night he broke for freedom by [F]using a wooden [C]gun. His guard [F]was easily [C]buffaloed, his [G]clever trick had [C]won. And then [F]began the [C]manhunt, the [G]greatest ever [C]known. With plots and plans to trap him, with [F]brains and skill were [C]shown. His draw was fast as lightning, re[F]wards stood on his [C]head. Go bring [F]in this great [C]criminal, whether [G]he be alive or [C]dead. It happened [F]in [C]Chicago, thus [G]noted for its [C]fame. The home of noted gangsters, where [F]many a man is [C]slain. He was taking in a picture, when a [F]woman tipped the [C]law. Three bullets [F]pierced his [C]body, he had [G]not a chance to [C]draw. The great man [F]hunt is [C]ended, the [G]innocent must [C]pay. When they have to stop the bullets, that [F]chance to go [C]astray. So young men take my warning, this [F]crime it does not [C]pay. And think of [F]Johnny [C]Dillinger, when he [G]met his fatal day.
