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
