B         Town league volleyball,  that's where we met:   1   4   5   1
M      We ran for the ball.    We  slammed in the net.    1   4   5   1
M      We fell in a   heap of      elbows and knees,      4   1
F when we reached our feet, we was   Johnnie & me         5   47
M                                            Bonnie & me! 1  5

F         By the time dusk grew out of the shade,         1   4            
F         kisses were kissed and promises made,           5   1
M     and carved in the bark of a tupelo tree             1   4
M       a heart said "Bonnie & Me".                       5
F                             "Johnnie & Me".             47  1  17

Chorus:
B          Thought we were wild in our single days,      4    4            
       but   now we can raise                            1    1
           triple the hell an' double the trouble        2    2
      as a couple:                                       57   57
           ?onnie and me.                                1    5

F         Soon as my shift ends, hop in the car.        1   4   5   1    
F     Wherever we're meetin's always too far.           1   4   5   1
F   Might break a few laws, but we gotta be             4   1
F       together, Johnnie & me.                        (5   47)
M                           Bonnie & me.               (47) 1   57 

M         Dirt-bike racing, poetry slams,               1   4            
M         tenpin bowling and bluegrass jams:            5   1
M         Every sweet thing gets sweeter when we        1   4
M     can be there as Bonnie & me.                     (5 47)
F                              Johnnie & me.           (47) 1   17

Chorus                                                                

F     The movie was over, the credits had rolled,       1   4   5   1    
F     the theater empty save two lost souls.            1   4   5   1
M     The cleaning crew screamed, startled to see       4   1
M       a tangle of Bonnie and me.                     (5 47)
F                              Johnnie and me.         (47) 1  57

B         Like two bats from a heavenly hell              1    4        
B      we flew out of there, sat for a spell,             5    1
B         split us a bottle, and danced until three,      1    4
B      together, ?onnie and me.                           5    6m   6m
B         Long as we're livin' we're gonna be             1    4
F         Johnnie and me                                 (5 47)
M                     Bonnie and me                       47
B                                ?ohnnie and me.          1  1
