The 🏷Legend Of Bonnie and Clyde
Merle Haggard

Intro F#Maj7F#maj7 G#G# D#D#


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

                Bb majorBb       D#D#
The poems that she wrote of the life that they led
            Bb majorBb    D#D#
Told of the lawmen left dying or dead
         Bb7Bb7    AbAb     D#D#
Now some say that Clyde made her life a shame
                Bb majorBb     D#D#
But the 🏷Legend made Bonnie the head of the gang


                Bb majorBb      D#D#
Their rampage grew wilder with each passing day
                Bb majorBb     D#D#
Their odds growing smaller with each get-a-way
        Bb7Bb7    AbAb     D#D#
The end getting closer the harder they fought
                  Bb majorBb      D#D#
With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught


                 Bb majorBb      D#D#
They drove back from town on one bright summer day
                  Bb majorBb     D#D#
When a man they befriended stepped out in the way
          Bb7Bb7    AbAb      D#D#
With no thought of dying they pulled to the side
                Bb majorBb     D#D#
But death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde


             Bb majorBb     D#D#
Two years of running was ended that day
               Bb7Bb7     D#D#
For robbin` and killin` they both had to pay
         Bb7Bb7     AbAb      D#D#
But We`ll always remember how they lived an died
           Bb majorBb     D#D#
So goes the 🏷Legend of Bonnie and Clyde
C#C#    D#D#    C#C#    D#D#
Bonnie & Clyde   Bonnie & Clyde
