Merle Haggard - The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde chords
Start Jamming...
[Gb] [Eb]
Bonnie was a waitress [Bb] in a small [Eb] cafe
Clyde Barrow was the [Bb] rounder that took [Eb] her away
They both robbed and killed [Ab] until both of [Eb] them died
So goes the legend [Bb] of Bonnie [Eb] and Clyde
The poems that she wrote [Bb] of the life [Eb] that they led
Told of the law men [Bb] left dying [Eb] or dead
Some said Clyde [Ab] made her [Eb] life a shame
But the legend made Bonnie [Bb] the head [Eb] of the gang
The rampage grew [Bb] wilder with each passing [Eb] day
The odds growing smaller [Bb] with each [Eb] getaway
With the end growing closer [Ab] the harder [Eb] they'd fought
With blood on their hands they [Bb] were bound to [Eb] get [Db] caught
[Eb] [Gb]
[Eb]
They'd go back from town on one [Bb] bright summer [Eb]
day
When a man they'd befriended [Bb] stepped out [Eb] in the way
With no thought of [Ab] dying they pulled to [Eb] the side
But death lay there waiting [Bb] for Bonnie [Eb] and Clyde
Two years of running was [Bb] ended [Eb] that day
For robbing and killing [Bb] they both had [Eb] to pay
But we'll always remember [Ab] how they lived [Eb] and died
So goes the legend [Bb] of Bonnie [Eb] and Clyde
[Db] Bonnie [Eb] and [Bbm] Clyde
Bonnie [Eb] and Clyde
