Merle Haggard – The Legend Of Bonnie And Clyde (Guitar)

D#                         Bb    D#
Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe

                                  Bb       D#
Clyde Barrow was the rounder that took her away

                     D#7          G#           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

                  D#7        G#         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

                D#7        G#          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

                   D#7        G#            D#
With no thought of dying they pulled to the side

                                Bb       D#
But death lay there waiting for Bonnie & Clyde

                         Bb         D#
Two years of running was ended that day

                             Bb          D#
For robbin' and killin' they both had to pay

                 D#7          G#            D#
But We'll always remember how they lived an died

                      Bb       D#
So goes the Legend of Bonnie & Clyde

Bb       D#        Bb       D#
