INTRO:(Slow)
[D#]The night was clear, and the [G#]moon was [D#]yellow..
And the [A#7]leaves came tumblin' [D#]down...

#1.(fast, rock.)
[D#]I was standin' on the [D#7]corner,
When I [G#]heard my bull dog bark.
He was [D#]barkin' at the two men
Who were [A#7]gamblin' in the [D#]dark[A#7] .
It was Stagger [D#]Lee and [D#7]Billy,
Two [G#7]men who gambled late.
Stagger [D#]lee threw a seven,
Billy [A#7]swore that he threw [D#]eight[A#7] .

#2.
[D#]Stagger Lee, said Billy,
I can't [G#]let you go with that.
You have [D#]won all my money,
And my [A#7]brand-new Stetson [D#]hat[A#7] .
Stagger [D#]Lee went home,
And he [G#]got his forty-four.
He said, I'm [D#]goin' to the barroom
Just to [A#7]pay that debt I [D#]owe.
([A#7]Go, Stagger Lee.)

(INTERLUDE:SAX:) [D#] [G#] [D#] [A#] [D#] [A#]

#3.
[D#]Stagger Lee went to the barroom,
And he [G#]stood across the barroom door.
He said, [D#]Nobody move, and he [A#7]pulled his .[D#]44.[A#7]
Stagger [D#]Lee, cried Billy,
Oh, [G#]please don't take my life!
I've got [D#]three little children,
And a [A#7]very sickly [D#]wife[A#7] .

#4.
Stagger [D#]Lee shot Billy.
Oh, he [G#]shot that poor boy so bad..
That the [D#]bullet went through Billy
And [A#7]broke the bartender's [D#]glass.
([A#7]Look out now.)

CFF:
[D#]Go, Stagger Lee..[D#7]go, Stagger Lee..[G#7]go, Stagger Lee..
[D#]Go, Stagger Lee..[A#7]go, [D#]go..[A#7] .....Fade.

A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
