Intro: G#7 G#  D# 


verse 1 

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 


verse 2 

                                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 


verse 3 

                               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 


verse 4 

                                 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 


Verse 5 

                         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# 
Bonnie & Clyde     Bonnie & Clyde
