A D A
The night was clear, and the moon was yellow..
E7 A
And the leaves came tumblin' down...
[Verse 1]
(fast, rock.)
A A7
I was standin' on the corner,
D7
When I heard my bull dog bark.
A
He was barkin' at the two men
E7 A
Who were gamblin' in the dark.
A A7
It was Stagger Lee and Billy,
D7
Two men who gambled late.
A
Stagger lee threw a seven,
E7 A
Billy swore that he threw eight.
[Verse 2]
A A7
Stagger Lee, said Billy,
D7
I can't let you go with that.
A
You have won all my money,
E7 A
And my brand-new Stetson hat.
A
Stagger Lee went home,
D7
And he got his forty-four.
A
He said, I'm goin' to the barroom
E7 A
Just to pay that debt I owe.
E7
(Go, Stagger Lee.)
[Verse 3]
A A7
Stagger Lee went to the barroom,
D7
And he stood across the barroom door.
A E7 A
He said, Nobody move, and he pulled his .44.
A A7
Stagger Lee, cried Billy,
D7
Oh, please don't take my life!
A
I've got three little children,
E7 A
And a very sickly wife.
[Verse 4]
A A7
Stagger Lee shot Billy.
D7
Oh, he shot that poor boy so bad..
A
That the bullet went through Billy
E7 A
And broke the bartender's glass.
E7
(Look out now.)
[Outro]
A A7 D7
Go, Stagger Lee..go, Stagger Lee..go, Stagger Lee..
A E7 A
Go, Stagger Lee..go, go...Fade.
