The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde

Written by Merle Haggard/Bonnie Owens

	  		st FRET  KEY: Eb  PLAY: D 
(D) Bonnie was a waitress in a (A7) small caf-(D) e 
Clyde Barrow was the rounder that (A7) took her a-(D) way 
They both robbed and killed until (G) both of them (D) died 
So goes the Legend of (A7) Bonnie and (D) Clyde. 
 
The poems that she wrote of the life that they led 
Told of the lawmen left dying or dead 
Some say that Clyde made her life a shame 
But the legend made Bonnie the head of the game. 
 
The rampage grew wilder with each passing day 
The odds growing smaller with each get-a-way 
With the end growing closer the harder they fought 
With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught. 
 
They drove back from town on one bright summer day 
When a man they befriended stepped out in the way 
With no thought of dyin' they pulled to the side 
But death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde. 
 
Two years or runnin' was ended that day 
For robbin' and killin' they both had to pay 
But we'll always remember how they lived and died 
So goes the Legend of Bonnie and Clyde.
