INTRO:(Slow) (Capo 1st fret.)
[C]The night was clear, and the [F]moon was [C]yellow..
And the [G7]leaves came tumblin' [C]down...
#1.(fast, rock.)
[C]I was standin' on the [C7]corner,
When I [F]heard my bull dog bark.
He was [C]barkin' at the two men
Who were [G7]gamblin' in the [C]dark[G7] .
It was Stagger [C]Lee and [C7]Billy,
Two [F7]men who gambled late.
Stagger [C]lee threw a seven,
Billy [G7]swore that he threw [C]eight[G7] .
#2.
[C]Stagger Lee, said Billy,
I can't [F]let you go with that.
You have [C]won all my money,
And my [G7]brand-new Stetson [C]hat[G7] .
Stagger [C]Lee went home,
And he [F]got his forty-four.
He said, I'm [C]goin' to the barroom
Just to [G7]pay that debt I [C]owe.
([G7]Go, Stagger Lee.)
#3.
[C]Stagger Lee went to the barroom,
And he [F]stood across the barroom door.
He said, [C]Nobody move, and he [G7]pulled his .[C]44.[G7]
Stagger [C]Lee, cried Billy,
Oh, [F]please don't take my life!
I've got [C]three little children,
And a [G7]very sickly [C]wife[G7] .
#4.
Stagger [C]Lee shot Billy.
Oh, he [F]shot that poor boy so bad..
That the [C]bullet went through Billy
And [G7]broke the bartender's [C]glass.
([G7]Look out now.)
ADD:
[C]Go, Stagger Lee..[C7]go, Stagger Lee..[F7]go, Stagger Lee..
Go, Stagger Lee..[C]go, [G7]go.[C] ..Fade.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
