The 🏷Legend Of Bonnie and Clyde
Merle Haggard

Intro F#maj7 G# D#


D#             Bb  D#
Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe
                 Bb    D#
Clyde Barrow was the rounder that took her away
                 Ab      D#
They both robbed and killed until both of them died
           Bb     D#
So goes the 🏷Legend of Bonnie and Clyde

                Bb       D#
The poems that she wrote of the life that they led
            Bb    D#
Told of the lawmen left dying or dead
         Bb7    Ab     D#
Now some say that Clyde made her life a shame
                Bb     D#
But the 🏷Legend made Bonnie the head of the gang


                Bb      D#
Their rampage grew wilder with each passing day
                Bb     D#
Their odds growing smaller with each get-a-way
        Bb7    Ab     D#
The end getting closer the harder they fought
                  Bb      D#
With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught


                 Bb      D#
They drove back from town on one bright summer day
                  Bb     D#
When a man they befriended stepped out in the way
          Bb7    Ab      D#
With no thought of dying they pulled to the side
                Bb     D#
But death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde


             Bb     D#
Two years of running was ended that day
               Bb7     D#
For robbin` and killin` they both had to pay
         Bb7     Ab      D#
But We`ll always remember how they lived an died
           Bb     D#
So goes the 🏷Legend of Bonnie and Clyde
