Fonda Sue

Chorus

   Bb                                    

Out on the Western plains,   the wind blows hard and high

                                                Eb                Bb      

One minute it's rainin',   turn around bone dry

    Bb                           Eb                   Bb

I loved a maiden there,  sweet as honey dew

   Bb                F               Bb

They called that lady Fonda Sue

Chorus

   Bb                                    Eb                   

Fonda Sue,  Fonda Sue,  why am I so fond of you?

           Bb                                        F

And will you meet me by the lake tonight?

   Bb                                Eb                                   

Fonda Sue,  Fonda Sue,   take a chance,  a rendezvous

          Bb                 F                     Bb

The moon is full I'll make you feel alright.

Verse 2

The town folk said "She's crazy...and lives there all by herself...

So don't go messin' 'round boy,  she's got a pistol on the shelf..."

But I was so determined,  I wanted her to go

With me on my saddle to Mexico...     Repeat Chorus

Verse 3

So I wrote a letter,  and camped down by the dam,

'Til I heard a voice behind me whisper "Here I am..."

I saw her sweet lips standin' close to mine

And two days later we crossed that borderline...    Repeat chorus
