[A]When I got older it was wor[E]se
First [Em]words I [E]ever[Esus4]
[E]hea[A]rd:
"Nobody move, [Bbdim]nobody get hu[B]rt"

[Verse 2]
It's the [Em]long arm, it's the [C]strong arm
It's the [D]long arm of the [Em]law
It's the long arm, it's [C]the strong arm
It's the [D]long arm of the law
[Em]

[Verse 3]
After the [E]war in [A]Paraguay
Back in nineteen ninety- [Em]nine[E]
I was laying low in [Em]Lima[E][A]
Working both sides of the

Well, I [Em]have to live like a fu[C]gitive
Oh [D]yeah, oh [Em]yeah
Someone's coming [C]after me
