  But If I had known what was installed for me, I guess we wouldn't have gone at all


[Chorus]
C*    Eb*  E*    F/C*            Fm7          Fm        Fm7   Fm
Cause they threw,     chairs and bottles, all over the place
    Fm         Fm7              C    C7
But I could'nt find no place to hide
    Fm    Fm7           Db            Db7
But every time I made a break for the door
    Fm            C7           Fm* C*  Eb*  E* F/C*
Somebody knock me right back inside

Stagger Lee was kissing Billy's wife,
                  Fm7    C   C7
When Billy walked in the door
        Fm         Fm7          Db     Db7
Stagger Lee got to flee and got on his knee,
    Fm7                     C           Fm*  C*  Eb*  E*  F/C*
But Billy knocked him right dead on the floor


[Verse]

Billy was hitting Stagger Lee so hard,
    Fm                      C    C7
The cops were too scared to speak
    Fm                   Fm7            Db         Db7
But two bounces standing there wouldn't turn their head,
   Fm           C           Fm* C* Eb* E* F/C*
Pretending like they didn't see

Billy whipped the fool for so long,
         Fm         Fm7     C    C7
Until he started to looking pale
        Fm               Db        Db7
He even gave Stagger Lee two black eyes
    Fm            C      Fm*    C*    Eb*  E*   F/C*
And they'd be the one to swell, While they threw,

And I know that no one has learned a lesson from this
