She had no [C]heart at [Dm]all, no no no [C]heart at [Dm]all
2. [Dm]She was the meanest [C]cat, oh she was [Dm]really tough
She left her husband [C]flat, he wasn’t [Dm]tough enough
She took her [C]boys a-[Dm]long, ‘cos they were [C]mean and [Dm]strong
Chorus: Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma [C]Baker – she [Dm]taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma [C]Baker – to [Dm]handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma [C]Baker – she [Dm]never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma [C]Baker – but she knew how to [A]die
