B side of I started Loving You Again
1968 album The Legend Of Bonnie & Clyde
[Intro]
G#7 G#  D#
[Verse 1]
D#Bonnie was a waitress in a Bbsmall D#cafe
Clyde Barrow was the rounder that Bbtook her D#away
They both robbed and D#7killed until G#both of them D#died
So goes the legend of BbBonnie and D#Clyde
[Verse 2]
The poems that she wrote of the Bblife that they D#led
Told of the lawmen left Bbdying or D#dead
Now some say that D#7Clyde made G#her life a D#shame
But the legend made Bonnie the Bbhead of the D#gang
[Verse 3]
Their rampage grew wilder with Bbeach passing D#day
Their odds growing smaller with Bbeach get-a-D#way
The end getting D#7closer the G#harder they D#fought
With blood on their hands they were Bbbound to get D#caught
[Verse 4]
They drove back from town on one Bbbright summer D#day
When a man they befriended stepped Bbout in the D#way
With no thought of D#7dying they G#pulled to the D#side
But death lay there waiting for BbBonnie & D#Clyde
[Verse 5]
Two years of running was Bbended that D#day
For robbin' and killin' they Bbboth had to D#pay
But We'll always D#7remember how G#they lived an D#died
So goes the Legend of BbBonnie & D#Clyde
BbBonnie & D#Clyde     BbBonnie & D#Clyde
