G              F                           C
This here's a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
G               F                 C
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
G                           F                 C
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
G                   F                  C                Bb  F  G
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose
G                  F      C
They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso
G                       F                C
I swear they ran into a great big hassle
G        F                   C
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
G           F                   C              Bb  F  G
Bobbie Sue took the money and run             hoo hoo hoo


[Chorus]
(G)   F                     C    Csus4 C Csus4 C
Go on take the money and run
G        F                  C    
Go on take the money and run.   hoo, hoo, hoo!
 
G        F                  C    Csus4 C Csus4 C  
Go on take the money and run
G        F                  C     Bb F G
Go on take the money and run      Hoo, hoo, hoo!


[Verse]
G                F                      C
Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
G               F             C
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
G             F              C
He ain't gonna let those two escape justice
 G               F            C              Bb5  Bb5 F5
He makes his living off of the peoples taxes   
G         F          C
Bobbie Sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away
G         F                    C
Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day
G               F                       C
They got the money, hey, you know they got away
G                F                          C               Bb5  F5 G
They headed down south and they're still running today  
                                                               (Singin')

G     F                    C      G    F                  C     
Go on take the money and run,    Go on take the money and run... (Hoo hoo hoo)
