Stagger Lee

   C         Em           F       
The night was dark and the moon was 
 C
yellow
       Dm7         G        C      G
And the leaves came tumblin' down

[Verse 1]
     C                             
I was standin' on the corner when I 
F
heard my bull dog bark
      C                          
He was barkin' at the two men who 
    G               C      G
was gamblin' in the dark
      C                          F
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two 
men who gambled late
       C                        
Stagger Lee threw a seven, Billy 
G                   C       G
swore that he threw eight
        C                          
'Oh now, Stagger Lee' cried Billy 
       F
'I can't let you go with that'

         C                       G
'You have won all my money and my 
                 C        G
brand-new Stetson hat'
       C                         
Oh now, Stagger Lee went home, he 
      F
got afraid his .44
            C                      
He said 'I'm goin' to the ballroom 
       G               C     G
just to pay that debt I owe'

[Verse 2]
       C                       
Oh now, Stagger Lee went to the 
                F
ballroom and he stood behind the 
door
       C                     G    
He said 'Nobody moves' and he 
      C      G
pulled his .44
          C                        
'Yeah now, Stagger Lee' cried Billy
     F
 'oh, please, don't take my life'
         C                         
'I've got three little children and
  G           C       G
 a very sickly wife'
         C                         
Yeah now, Stagger Lee shot Billy 
             F
and you know he shot that poor boy 
so bad
      C                            
That a bullet went through Billy 
 G                     C     G
and broke the bartender's bar
